Must be an election year.

Apparently the Mail on Sunday has photographic proof that she has been lying all along. She posted photos of herself at the house in question on her Twitter account with captions like ' 'me at home after work with the cats'

Looks like she has scored an own goal with the dreaded social media and shot herself in the foot. Still, I expect that wonderful ex CPS Lawyer might give her some legal advice with mates rates. After he trusts her implicity and says there is no wrong doing even though he hadn't seen the dossier against her. A criminal offence to bootwith an optional prison term IF prosecuted and found guilty. No doubt it was all a big mistake and a moment of forgetfulness. She didn't forget to demand knowing the tax affairs of Sunak's wife and other Tory members but seems strangely reticent to come clean about her own. A big whiff of hypocrisy.

"Don't do as I do, do as I say......"

Hypocrites one and all.

99% of politicians give the other 1% a bad name ...

It does seem pretty damning retro but I'd like to know what constitutes not living in the house concerned. I assume if more nights are spent in another accomodation over a set period say at least 1 year then that is termed as "home" then that must be the main home but I'm not sure what the legal position is. However I am sure that AR is a fan of TGL for enabling her to buy the council house and profit thus.

[jackthehat]

I am sure other government departments have locked-down definitions of what does/doesn't constitute a main dwelling.

Naturally, AR will have 'misunderstood' this......blah....blah...blah

[davebro3]

HMRC advise is kinda woolly - at one point it says you must have lived in the house as you main home all the time & at another it says some of the time.

You must not have let the house. I think AR's brother stayed there but whether that counts as a letting or not......

[Canary42]

Typical Tory ploy - impossible to laud their own performance so wheel out the smears on the opposition.

[davebro3]

I would say - a typical POLITICAL ploy.

[davebro3]

and if there ARE genuine smears to wheel - then why not wheel 'em?

16:06, perlease you and the rest of the bolsheviks have been going on about the remotest thing on the government side for years. One comes up the other way and you wet your Alans! PMSL! This story has been around for weeks. First time I have commented because only now some proper evidence is emerging. You and your lefty mates would do well to take a note of that.

It's interesting, isn't it, that both Sir Beer and the fish wife holler for resignations for pretty much everything, and yet when they're caught they seem to think they warrant a pass.

 

People in glass houses should NEVER throw stones.

Well, it stops us talking about the impromptu Easter Honours List, including a knighthood for an Egyptian that bunged £5M+ to Tory party, doesn't it?  

Politics in this country is just an abomination. The whole lot should be thrown out and start again ... especially the "Lords".

[ToraToraTora]

Yes ellipsis have you any comments on the AR scandal? What I find most amusing is that she probably hates TGL with a passion yet she gave her the method to let her make £48k! Tough one shazza!

[retrocop]

Yes TTT. This 'Lady' refers to Torys as scum. Ironic innit?

[Deskdiary]

I'm curious as to why the fish wife refuses to release her tax returns given how many times in the past she's screeched for others to release theirs.

 

Is the fish wife hiding something?

[ToraToraTora]

Funny the PM has relesed his tax returns.....

[Ellipsis]

Do I have any comments on Angela Rayner? Well I suppose that what I  think depends on whether it's the Mail or Guardian that is informing me. What I do know is that the profit was £48K in total, so if she's evaded tax, it's the CGT on £48K, not the whole £48K. It sounds small potatoes and not really worth the risk, compared to giving a knighthood at Easter to someone who's bunged five million quid to the party, among other entrants being stuffed into the Lords (at Easter?!). But corruption is corruption ... a plague on all their houses.

[ToraToraTora]

yes, small potatoes, is your judgement of dishonesty based only on the amount? Keep digging....

a neighbour had this: she had to show the live in boyfriend er wasnt. Three nights a week I think... and everything in 'his (other) house' in his  name - electoral, tax, utilities, 

I think poor old Wayney is within the law. All house sales go frooda tax man anyway.
