Labour SLAMMED For “Hypocrisy On A Grand Scale” Amid Angela Rayner Tax Row

The Sun’s Trevor Kavanagh slams Labour for “hypocrisy on a grand scale” after the police launched an investigation into Angela Rayner’s tax row.
It comes after James Daly, deputy chairman of the Conservative Party, made Greater Manchester Police (GMP) aware of neighbours contradicting Ms Rayner’s statement that her property, separate from her husband’s, was her main residence.
GMP previously said it would not be investigating the allegations, but following a complaint from Mr Daly, the police confirmed it had reassessed information and launched a probe.
The Labour Party said it remains confident Ms Rayner has complied with the rules, and the Ashton-under-Lyne MP “welcomes the chance to set out the facts with the police”.
Trevor says: “This is the Labour Party in action… don’t expect us to behave in the way that we demand from others”.

No he didn't. He converted the gold into government bonds. The idea was that the equivelent amount in bonds would raise millions a year in interest, unlike gold that just sits there earning nothing. He actually made the country millions a year in interest payments and we still had the money, just in bonds and not gold.

I'm not so bothered about her dodging the bit of capital gains tax. What strikes me is the fact she's brought her council house under a old Thatcher scheme she's openly criticised. Then got married and moved into her husband's house and renting her ex-council house to her brother, then when it came to selling it took advantage of the 5 year exemption. No one in their right mind can obviously defend the fact she wasn't living with her husband at his house. All a bit pathetic really.

Cameron only Lobbyed for Greenshill with no result, But what Cameron did was give us that referendum in 2016, and because he did not get the result he wanted,(which was to remain in the EU) He resigned and hence started the Brexit Show, and apparently there were/are around 75% of our so called MP's who are or were(may well now have accepted the result) against the democratic result of that referendum, which is why they argued over it for 3 years until Boris pushed it over the line, which is NOT what that 75% wanted, and hence Boris was got rid of!!

She is 100% guilty of Tax fraud unless she has advice from a chartered accountant stating that she did not owe tax if this is the case then the accountants are in an enormous amount of trouble. It is completely irrelevant where she was living - as soon as one of the properties is put on the market it is deemed to be the second property as there is clearly no intention to live there. It is all very straightforward. Can you imagine the chaos and amount of claims for refunds if she gets away with it?

For those performing the most amazing mental gymnastics by claiming she has done nothing wrong: It’s now confirmed that her statement (‘I’ve never been a landlady’) is a straight lie. And that she in fact was (still is?) as her brother was there, and paying her rent too. Clearly, she has not declared that rent to HMRC, so that’s another offence she has committed (i.e. evasion of Income Tax as well as Capital Gains tax - probably breaking Electoral Law and not paying correct Council tax as well.) Which she should now answer for. The skeletons in the closet are really piling up. Another point worth considering is that this is someone who considers themselves competent to run the country (despite leaving school with no qualifications) but the scarcely believable farce that’s now unfolding could hardly have been handled more incompetently than she has done, with all sorts of incriminating and/or conflicting evidence arising solely from her own inept actions…
