Another 'error' over housing by a Labour cabinet member.

[Knave of Hearts]

She perfectly knew about landlord licence and smugly went on social media advocating its importance.
Then she rented her house without having a licence.

Some LA's require a licence. it isn't a universal requirement like Building regs, etc.
Some LA's a require a licence only for some areas or street.
She knew about Leeds, which doesn't come into effect for another 3 months.
There's no reason that she may have known about Southwark.
Unless she was looking for a house to rent prior to 2021, and learned about it then, when it wasn't in force.

This is like the site manager going on and on about health and safety when working for someone else and then taking a job himself and having asbestos removed without even a mask.

It's nothing like that. She obviously didn't do it for financial gain.

Then of course there are people like you supporting criminals, terrorists, peadophiles and rapists as long as they're leftists.
Pathetic!

Off on another of your fantasy journeys?

In her letter to Starmer she said she did not know they needs a licence.

In the emails now released the agent told than they need a license and said they would apply.

Liar liar pants on fire.

You're reading the wrong paper, or the wrong article, or the wrong paragraph, or the wrong issue.
Or you're intentionally posting incorrect disinformation.
Which is it?

• Today, Downing Street says "new information" came to light - namely, an exchange of emails sent and received by Reeves's husband and her letting agency
• The correspondence shows that arrangements had been made for the agency to apply for a selective licence on the couple's behalf
• The agency apologises for not obtaining the proper licence, owing this failure to a member of staff leaving the organisation

Rachel Reeves: Letting agent apologises to chancellor for not applying for rental licence

The agent says "we deeply regret the issue caused to our clients"; Reeves says in a new letter to the prime minister: "I accept it was our responsibility to secure the licence".

She knew that a landlord licence exists and she decided to avoid asking if she needed one.
I know a fishing licence exists but some lakes are exempt: do I ask or I just assume that the lake I'm going fishing doesn't require a licence?

It's nothing like that. She obviously didn't do it for financial gain.

It's very much like that.
Maybe her property is a dump that won't ever pass the council inspection, maybe...

The bull calls the donkey 'horned beast' once again.

Why do you say that she is a criminal?

Where did I say that?
Are you in Himmy's club? Picking a few words out of an entire post to stir the pot?

Where are you getting this from?

Haven't you seen the Himmy's show on recent threads?

Pathetic!

It followed immediately after your main "crux" so by convection it seemed like it was a reply to what Knave of hearts said.

I really don't know who this himmy is.

You would need to explain now.

Hmmm

More to come yet but...


Gareth Martin, owner of Harvey & Wheeler, said the company's previous property manager had offered to apply for a "selective" rental licence on behalf of their client but this never happened as the individual resigned before the tenancy began.

He added: "We deeply regret the issue caused to our clients as they would have been under the impression that a licence had been applied for."

Reeves has apologised for the "inadvertent mistake" but said she accepts "full responsibility".

 

[Brigadier]

it would be nice to think those in charge of our economy, government, our future would be astute enough not to get caught out on such trivial matters.

I am not particularly bothered by her mistake, and a mistake I'm sure it was - but should the person running our economy be making these blunders.

I'd be more concerned if someone in charge of the entire economy was spending any attention whatsoever on such trivialities.
That's what we have depts, assistants, advisors for.

 

[Andydevon]

Some more to go by the look of it.

Humiliation for Reeves as she admits she DID know she needed a licence

The Chancellor was on the ropes with calls for her to be sacked following an extraordinary day of contradictory statements.

You assume too much.
And I wouldn't listen to any bs coming from Himmy...

I really don't know who this himmy is.

Yes, sure

she should be able to run a department and be able to delegate

it does doesn’t it - if she can't keep her own affairs in order (even if she delegates to do so) then how can we expect her to run the whole country.

I think she is a nice enough person and is not trying to pull a fast one, but i don't think she is up to the job - we need people with abilities way above the average person running our country.

 

[morqthana]

If I used a letting agency to rent out my house I would expect them to advise me of any licences required.

They did. Well, actually they advised her husband, who was organising the let, and not only did they tell him, they said they would apply for the licence for him.

And then they didn't apply for it.

But some people are so prone to losing sight of anything rational that they say that all this is her fault.
