Starmer's vision quest

[bobzmyunkle]

Absolute tosh. She was found to have broken the ministerial code and that's why she is gone.

And our resident incel politely waited for all the facts to be in before making comments that definitely didn't contain a hint of misogyny.

Some of the above may be stretching the truth a little. And before anyone starts shouting leftiebollox, I have previously stated she should go

Maybe they don't support Starmer's Labour, which is objectively not a remotely left-wing party, or Rayner, who, if she ever had any principles, sold them all out to support that soulless windbag's ghastly Thatcherite project.

Maybe Starmer will just stop delaying the inevitable, call a GE & get it over with.

If that's how they feel about the present Government, and Rayner, then odd they haven't criticised her over the last few days...

I haven't criticised her - I'm wildly unsurprised by her behaviour.

I may have suggested she attracts rage from the usual suspects because her primary residence isn't a skip.

And obviously nothing to see here because it's a private company and he's obviously straight as a die.

Do you know the difference between avoidance and evasion?

Rayner was evading tax

Evasion is wilful.

If you read Laurie Magnus's report she acted on advice that was caveated that further advice from an expert in that bit of the legal world where trusts, property and revenue deeming clauses overlap. She failed to do so and it was that failure that was a breach of the Ministerial Code.

Careless or a cock up but not wilful evasion.

Please do tell why you are wildly unsurprised by her behaviour

Well done guys! Another woman in a position of power has been forced to resign. If she was a white, middle age bloke she would’ve been fine.

Well done! You must be so proud. *slow handclap*

BTW, I’m not and never have been a Labour voter or supporter but I can see double standards and misogyny a mile off.

I mean she actually resigned because she broke the ministerial code and not because a small group of blokes in an obscure corner of a cycling forum criticised her, but just so we're clear, are you arguing that she should have remained in post because she happens to be female?

Re tax he's doing it right. No one is authority has accused Farage of financial impropriety, I'm aware of

Feel free to quote those posts that you claim are misogynistic.

If I do will you see the error of your ways and repent?

There is your wilful, she chose to ignore seeking expert stamp duty advice.

My mates company has a dedicated stamp duty person to deal with all the intricate aspects of stamp duty. They even have access to a KC for very difficult cases

The timing of this suggest that it's a last ditch attempt to divert from the Rayner saga. I'm sure there will be an investigation if he has underpaid what is due.
Although the hypocrisy charge doesn't seem to apply here as it does to Rayner.

Yes lucky that he managed to get a time machine to declare a year ago that he had bought a house in his constituency but avoided higher rate stamp duty by putting it in his partner's name.

It's just lucky that no Reform or Conservative MPs have ever taken advantage of tax dodges and lied about it.

It may actually to do with the fact she is a first class hypocrite. She deserves the rage for that alone

My mates son is buying a second house, but putting it in his girlfriends name to access first time buyer benefits
