Angela rayner tax dodger again...

It’s also about what she told them to receive that advice. I mean, if I didn’t tell my accountant all of my earnings and he sends the tax return in THAT I HAVE SIGNED SAYING IT IS A TRUTHFUL ACCOUNT, who gets in trouble, me or my accountant?

She told them she didn’t own any other houses because that was her understanding on advice. The law in her case says she can be deemed to own and not own for different purposes. Genuine mistake. Even the different advisers got it wrong.

This country really really needs a new direction in politics, but Corbyns 1970s socialism and Farages 1980s Thatcherism on steroids are not the answer.

Neither are offering anything remotely new.

Apart from more and more division.

This chap is unerringly right on politics so as things stand he looks to be the new direction.

I wonder whether we will ever find out what the "advice" she relied on was.

I hope it's another woman.

We will when she sues them, won't we

How will she afford a £650K mortgage on an MPs salary.

I wonder whether we will ever find out what the "advice" she relied on was.

Its discussed in the letter from the review:

In his letter to the Prime Minister, Sir Laurie Magnus, the independent adviser on ministerial interests, said: “It is highly unfortunate [...] that Ms Rayner failed to pay the correct rate of SDLT on this purchase, particularly given her status and responsibilities as the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government and as Deputy Prime Minister.

“She believed that she relied on the legal advice she had received, but unfortunately did not heed the caution contained within it, which acknowledged that it did not constitute expert tax advice and which suggested that expert advice be sought.”

Sir Laurie said it was “deeply regrettable that the specific tax advice was not sought”, adding: “I believe Ms Rayner has acted with integrity and with a dedicated and exemplary commitment to public service.

“I consider, however, that her unfortunate failure to settle her SDLT liability at the correct level, coupled with the fact that this was established only following intensive public scrutiny, leads me to advise you that, in relation to this matter, she cannot be considered to have met the “highest possible standards of proper conduct” as envisaged by the Code.

“Accordingly, it is with deep regret that I must advise you that in these
circumstances, I consider the Code to have been breached.”

None of the parties are offering anything remotely new.

PR is the answer
