Yeh but no but, in the year of, I made the decision to, it was a mistake, but yes but no. Cummings eat your heart out. Human beings will never change will they left or right. Didn't she make a huge thing about tax avoidance and tax dodgers before the election?



Yes minister and Little Britain are so true 🤣

Did the people calling out Raynor now call out the long list of Tory transgressors (including Johnson) over the last few years? I’m guessing not.
Even is she has made a genuine mistake, her position now is untenable, but let’s not pretend that this is worse than the Zahawi situation, the multiple PPE scams and other countless Tory grifts.
Apparently she had three different advisers telling her that she was paying the correct amount, but let’s not worry about the facts if we can give a “lefty” a good kicking eh?


Oh boo hoo.

She's the deputy Prime Minister FFS.

Next you'll be telling us she's being treated unfairly because...sob...sniffle... she's a 'woman'.

First, she has not avoided the tax, she's paid it.

Second, there is no suggestion that she tried to avoid the tax. She did as her advisers told her.

Third, she can only really be culpable if she failed to give the advisers the correct or full information or did give them that detail, had advice that the liability was ÂŁX and then paid a lower sum

Zahawi had a full blown HMRC enquiry in which he was fined over ÂŁ1m for deliberately concealing information.

Johnson was found to have lied to Parliament.

Cameron benefits from a trust set up by his family which he "forgot" about.

Ashcroft (peer and Tory party donor/treasurer) claims residence in Belize despite having at least two houses in the UK.

Time I think that hysteria gave way to a sense of proportion and a few facts.

Fair points Sogs, but...

It might be no worse than Zahari - but she called him out big time and demanded he should go. Hence the stench of hypocrisy around this.

Also, relying on advisers is not necessarily a great defence for someone in charge of housing.

We must remember too that the advice any adviser gives is completely reliant on the information received from the client. This will have been made clear in any appointment letter, together with various disclaimers about not giving advice on issues outside their remit (such as tax) with a recommendation the client seeks appropriate specialist advice.

Whichever way we cut it, Ange is in a tight spot...


I see where you are coming from Chesham Saint.

However, according to the B B C Website today, she took the advice of an expert in Conveyancing and two legal experts regarding Trusts before proceeding with the purchase and subsequent payment of Stamp Duty.

Who amongst us ( Deputy Prime Minister or Road Sweeper) placed in a similar position having received expert advice from three different sources would then decide to ignore such advice ?

To me the whole affair hinges on the content of your penultimate paragraph. If she knowingly withheld information from those she asked for advice so as to benefit financially then she is toast, if not, then I find it hard to see what she has done wrong. Particularly given that she took the trouble to apply to a court to make details of the trust public and then on the advice of a K C immediately agreed to pay HMRC what he considered was still owed.

As a side issue and correct me if I’m wrong, but some media messaging appears to suggest she paid no Stamp Duty. Isn’t the reality that Stamp Duty was in fact paid but simply at the incorrect rate ?

jopreston, do you honestly think that all 650 members of Parliament are purely in it for what they can make from it ?

A salary of ÂŁ94000 to have to deal with with complaints of thousands of moaning constituents day in and day out whilst constantly being open to written, verbal and in some cases physical abuse resulting in death is why they want to do it ?

Obviously, you are entitled to your opinion, after all we still live in a democracy which without Parliament and those within it probably wouldn’t exist. Now there is an irony.

OK, so not as yet no. Of those 650, there will be some that are in it for the right reasons, AT THIS TIME. Trouble is, the higher up you go, the harder it becomes to resist the fruits being offered. On top of that, I believe it is likely that you will not be allowed to climb the tree unless you accept the way of things. When they get to the highest levels, yes they are all in it for themselves 100%.

The thing is, they don't just earn their salary. They are all people with other business interests etc. The position they seek is only to make things better/easier for their own business and that of people they deal with, not at all for the salary. Cynical but absolutely true, of that I have no doubt.

Sorry Jo, how can they ALL be people with "other business interests"? Isn't the claim that none of the Gov front has any business experience whatsoever false then?

That’s exactly how I see it.

Only in it for themselves, claiming as many expenses as they can get away with ( with in the all too generous rules)

They are meant to be a position of trust and represent us, I wouldn’t trust any off them.

If this was the Conservatives when in power labour would be all over them demanding the sacking / resignation.

The only people who truly believe she made a mistake due to wrong advice and that it was at all her intention to do this, are staunch labour supporters. Of course, when a Tory does similar we all know what their opinion is.

I would like to see Reform win an election just to see if their people would be just as bad once being in a position of power. I am pretty sure they would. I like some of what Farage says, but I cannot trust him. I just don't believe in him sadly. He is dodgy, I am quite sure of it.

Whether she made a mistake based on poor advice or knew what she was doing doesn’t really make a difference. She must own it and will almost certainly be sacked or will resign. When she looks in the mirror the real question she should ask is why, as a working class person, has she been an integral part of deliberate attempt to destroy the parties roots and betray the very people it’s supposed to represent. Labour seems more intent on arresting people for waving flags than tackling inequality and injustice.

As for Farage - a few minutes researching this charlatan will show you what he is about and what a disaster it will be if he is elected as PM.

With regards to Farage, I have to confess I have not read up on him so much, I just don't like him for some reason. I don't trust him. I don't think he care one jot about the average man on the street anymore than the others. He just says what needs to be said in order for him to gain power and popularity. I would rather Zia Yusuf was running reform. He seems a very intelligent and articulate man.

Interesting enough it now appears that had she waited six months before buying her flat in Hove her disabled son would have reached 18 years of age, at which point under the rules of his trust her interest in his home would have passed to him in its entirety.

Thereafter she could have purchased the flat ( or similar ) and the Stamp Duty she has paid would cause no problem whatsoever.

The housing minister and deputy prime minister who fiercely lectured others on paying their taxes, she should also know the rules of her department, should not not be making "silly mistakes".

It shows why people have totally lost faith in politics, when even Labour are making "silly mistakes". But people are people everywhere you go. Not a single person in this world doesn't want to save money where they can, except she pretended she would play by the rules.

Doesn’t add up financially though Southamptonfan does it.

Wait six months and keep your job and all the salary and perks that go with it until the next general election which is probably three years away or buy the flat now and loose your job and perks for the sake of ÂŁ40,000.

I’m happy to run with what she has done as a silly mistake and you appear happy that it’s been done intentionally. The only person who really knows is the woman herself.

On Saints and footballing matters in general I’ve noticed that our views are usually very similar, on this one it looks like we are simply going to have to agree to disagree.

Can the working class idol now be someone who actually represents the hard working, smart working class which I know.

Working class people are not dumb and they play by the rules. My parents were working class people who worked hard and got an education. Rayner, by contrast, is pretty thick, owns 3 houses, and doesn’t pay tax. She’s a disgrace to the “working class” and any use to show her up as the working class figurehead is a joke.

Anyone else feel a bit patronised when they call this thick woman the working class spokesperson?
[Post edited 3 Sep 13:21]


The "Working Class" are just people with the same failings and weaknesses as any other artificial social demarcation - I don't subscribe to this salt of the earth patronage any more than I would define working class membership in terms of things like a cor blimey accent or dress, like a Harry Enfield parody of a Kwik FIt Fitter. FOr what it's worth Angela Rayner was guilty of naiively hoping that keeping low or a week would allow things to blow over. She's not a criminal, and she isn't so stupid as to imagine she could get away with underpaying tax. It's clear that she did receive advice from somebody and those who gave it are now running and hiding like cowards, lest they pick up any of the odure rebounding off the VentAxia. Her mistake was not to get unequivocal professional advice in writing. Every politician knows sthat every action they take will be subject to minute scrutiny, Rayner especially - they may be foolish, miscalculating or even stupid but wilfully fraudulent? No.
