Susanna Questions Angela Rayner Over Claims That She Broke Electoral Law

Keir Starmer and Angela Rayner will launch the party’s campaign document which includes detail on Labour’s plans for regional devolution. Sir Keir will say Labour will give power away and put communities in control.
Greater Manchester Police are now reviewing a decision not to investigate Angela Rayner over claims that she has broken electoral law. Tory deputy chairman, James Daley, has complained that the claims had not properly been investigated.

She is claiming that her council house was her primary residence and the family home. When she was away in London, it was just a business trip, and she returned home to her family whenever the parliamentary schedule allowed her to. It's just like you and me being asked by our companies to go somewhere for the purpose of work. We're allowed to have a hotel paid for by the company and we get payments for food costs. The difference is that, because they spend a lot of time there, it's often cheaper to buy a property than rent, or use a hotel. What that then means is that any other house you have is subject to taxation when you sell it. She is saying that it was her personal home (which is exempt) even though all evidence seems to suggest she did not live there and maintained it as an investment property.

You’re being disingenuous and you know it. The accusation is not “you bought and sold a house”. The accusation is that Rayner sold a house for a massive profit and probably should have paid capital gains tax. Not to mention the challenge that she may have been dishonest with where she was living. As Susanna Reid said… two residences between married couples isn’t allowed, let alone the fact that it’s weird.

[@leet3207]

She married in 2010 and sold the house in 2015. Seems odd that she and her and husband had seperate houses at this time and she mainly lived in the one she sold but her husband and children lived in the other, as stated in this interview? 🤔.

[@stevedavidson666]

They're separated. Since 2020. Case closed? Oh and BTW if you listened properly you would have heard her say words to the effect when her husband had the children.

I mean she was using tax avoidance schemes previously, left school with no qualifications but lied about that to get her first job in marketing where she became head of the company’s marketing within a couple of years. Her whole history shows she isn’t the most trustworthy person.

Thats a much more representative example. This of course assumes she is guilty which by the sounds of things might not be true.

Can anyone remember the utter chaos and eminent collapse of the financial sector the Tories inherited in 2010. Not to mention the open migrant system they installed in 2002.

[@pipoo1]

No. Because that NEVER happened. The intervention of the Labour Government when the US mortgage market collapsed bailed out UK banks and prevented a systemic financial crisis in the UK. The Tories peddled lies about a Greek debt crisis then presided over one themselves in Autumn 2022. They've also presided over a collapse in sterling which is worth about 1/3 less than it was when Labour were in power causing huge inflationary pressure here. Also since 2010 the Tories have borrowed more than double all the British Governments in history before them combined. Debt to GDP which was on par with Germany in 2010 is now almost double the German rate while GDP per capita again on par with Germany in 2010 now lags about £8000 a year behind Germany. Which means crudely a typica two earner British family is about £16000 worse off than their German counterparts.

[@Panzerfaustchen]

@@pipoo1oh it definitely did happen. Brown was warned about the US subprime mortgage scam years before and turned a blind eye to it, just took all the extra money it was bringing in and spent it on social welfare which buys votes until the financial crash and suddenly we’re spending 12% more than we’re receiving and that’s where austerity came from. Labour we’re going to make massive austerity cuts also but got voted out.
