“Why Doesn’t She Resign?” | Angela Rayner Accused of ‘Double Standards’

Police look set to interview deputy Labour leader, Angela Rayner under caution, amid allegations that she avoided paying capital gains tax on a council house she sold, and a possible breach of electoral law.
Rayner’s policy "New deal for working people" has now come under scrutiny as it involves special concessions for everyone that goes to work, including the idea that bosses should be banned from phoning staff out of work hours.
The policy if implemented, could add an extra £225 to a household's council tax bill.
The Spectator’s James Heale thinks the policy has not been thought through and costed properly. He says: "We are dealing with quite uncharted waters here.”
Kevin O’Sullivan wonders why she doesn't resign, because she once called for former Prime Minister Boris Johnson to quit when he was being investigated over “party-gate”.
Kevin says: “It’s double standards.”

Fool. The Tories have trebled National Debt since 2010. Low growth, low productivity, high NHS waiting lists, rocketing immigration after Brexit. Barriers to trade from Brexit. Filthy rivers and seas. Public services decimated. Taxpayers money going straight to the foreigners who own the privatised water companies and rail companies. Super profits made by oil and gas companies, with massive fuel prices for the public. Truss trashing the economy, leading to higher mortgage rates. Anything good that they've done that you can verify that has made the country better off? You've also fallen for the word woke, which has only come from the right wing, because they have nothing else to talk about.
