Angela Rayner

[Notch7]

They're investigating all around the thing

No they aren’t.

It’s a trivial matter which the Conservative party have been screaming at the police to investigate.

All Manchester police have said is they are investigating to see if a crime has been committed….they aren’t investigating a crime

it's not for you or anyone else to decide what the crimes might have been.
This shows you want to prejudge the matter rather than being objective

The objective position is this: it’s pretty trivial

I’m pre judging nothing,I’m saying if it’s out of time there is nothing to investigate

 

[Notch7]

But by stating she'll step down if found to have committed an offence, she is f*****g over every Tory MP if they make a mistake. She knows she's not going to be done (I suspect), so every Tory chancer who 'was unaware' he or she had transgressed will be pilloried. Not educated, but very smart. How many Tories have played the main residence game...?

Yes indeed she said: “I will step step down if I’ve committed a crime”

As far as I can see the only crime possible is electoral fraud….highly unlikely.

She won’t step down if she has made a tax transgression

 

[JohnD]

"You show me yours and I'll show you mine"

Tax records, obvs

How many Tory MPs have accepted her challenge?

How many Tory MPs have accepted her challenge?

I think her saying she will step down 'if she has committed a crime' is a great move. Win/win for labour.

It’s quite possible all the publicity will be positive for Angela Rayner….all those pictures of where she lived shows a woman with a genuine humble background.

Tories might’ve just made Angela Rayner more popular than she was

 

[ajohn]

Angela Rayner more popular than she was

LOL I liked her leg crossing Tory attack as well. She probably noticed some were watching.

 

[noseall]

Same thing going on in America with all the charges against Trump.

How on Earth have they managed to do that, I wonder?

It could happen.

Even if she owes a small amount of tax, it will probably be less than one Tory claimed for having his moat cleaned.

 

[JohnD]

It's a rash Tory who starts drawing public attention to the problem of sleaze.

 

[Andydevon]

I don't know John seams to be working quite well so far.

 

[JohnD]

working quite well

Labour to win at least 64 seats in London in Tory 'wipeout' at election, polls show

The surveys show the Conservatives would get between five and zero seats

Now John if you are to swerve at least get your geography right. Ashton‑under‑Lyne is a bit of a stretch from London.

 

[JohnD]

Red Wall not looking too good for the party that chose Truss.

 

[Andydevon]

Really John even for you that's a bit sad and a stretch.

 

[JohnD]

I wonder if Rice-Pudd has announced his retirement yet.
