Angela Raynors words. Labour really are imploding, at the very least she should be suspended while this is investigated. |  | | |  |

There are probably thousands and thousands of women in politics far more talented, capable, intelligent and hard working than Rayner will ever be but they didn’t have the benefit of being married to the leader of one of the biggest unions who can parachute them into the safest seat in the country.
She’s got to where she has through pure naked nepotism. |
Rayner and Reeves are putting women in politics back years. | | | |

I’m no fan of this woman I admit but gullible I may be in thinking that the advice she was given was wrong but that she acted in good faith.
It was not a simple case apparently and being in her position I can’t imagine she would do it deliberately to avoid paying the correct tax.
If I’m wrong I’ll hold my hands up. |
Come on now she dealt with a very professional and top class firm who would have been well aware giving bad advice to such a well known public figure would be extremely bad for buisness, I would imagine this is a case of her not giving them the right information in the first place in order to avoid paying the 40,000 the woman has sleaze written all over her. |  | | |

Don't you feel that it is very worrying that the housing minister took advice on housing and it was legally wrong. Scale that up through the government housing minister making a housing decision which could impact government policy and it was not accurate and you start to see a government making a number of u turns. Either the government ministers are not up to the job or their advisors are not, possibly both and you start to see how the country is in a mess. |
I’d have thought that the advice she was given would have come from her a solicitor /legal professional who has nothing to do with and is completely independent of the government.
If I am paying a solicitor to do work for me, conveyancing etc I expect them to get things right because they should be experts in their field and that is what I’m paying them for.
I recently had some conveyancing done by one of the partners are a reputable solicitors practice near me and it cost an arm and a leg. Why would I doubt his professional competence - he’s the subject matter expert and that’s why I went to him.
There are strict rules around civil servants / government employees giving advice on private matters and she shouldn’t have been getting advice on this issue from civil servants.
It’ll be interesting to see who has advised her and what exactly they said. I’m no fan of Raynor, but if she’s acted in good faith based on legal advice she had no reason to suspect was wrong I’ll cut her some slack on this, but if she’s telling porkies, or being economical with the truth or has been negligent she should be sacked and booted out of parliament.

That may be the case, but we need complete clarity and to be able to scrutinise the detail to ensure the facts stack up, anything short of that isn’t good enough.
She’s a Minister of State and the Deputy Prime Minister, there can be nothing short of 100% transparency. |
100% agree. | | | |

We don’t know the facts yet, but if she’s had bad advice, hasn’t been negligent and acted based on the advice which she believed to be correct I’d be prepared to cut her some slack, but if she’s been negligent, told pork pies, been economical with the truth or the facts then she should be sacked from her post and hopefully disciplined by the Standards Committee, suspended from Parliament and eventually booted out of office via the recall process.
There should be zero tolerance of any misconduct or dishonesty. | | | |

Looks like she is throwing her extremely well paid lawyers under the bus to save her own skin .
Not my fault I took expert legal advice on the deals , blame my advisors .
How many times is it better to hold your hand and admit I made an error , my mistake .
Been there myself on work mess ups , yep it was me who made the wrong call .
Life is a lot easier if you are honest , a cover up on the shop floor is achievable can be done .
A mess up in the Publics eye with all the press desperate to finish Labour off and she throws more fuel on the fire . | | | |

As a government minister, I would have thought she would have had the best advice available in the field that is relevant to her ministerial position at the end of the phone. | | | |

In normal times I would have expected MP's of all parties would be lining up to slaughter her, surprisingly, she has a lot of sympathisers.
Could it be that be that a lot of MP's are just as guilty as Rayner, glass houses and stones, greedy b*stards. |  |

I would have thought that as the HOUSING minister and any other minister would know they will be very strongly scrutinised by people praying they will find some dirt that she would ask legal experts in her own department who deal with these rules all the time.
I would expect than any half sensible minister would understand what would happen should they get caught out and even if it is a genuine mistake it will be public perception that will matter.
Public perception of politicians generally is very poor, you'd think she'd want to be whiter than white but instead she drew more scrutiny on herself and has been caught out.
What if she knew she was didging tax and the "I followed legal advice" line is a plausible lie she had ready for if anyone noticed her dodgy deal?
And yes, I don't trust politicians. | | | |

If she is throwing them under the bus and they have nothing to hide then they should make public and provide exactly what she provided to them in the first place as the information she provided to them would have been the reason they came to there conclusion. | | | |

The 'family home' in Manchester is owned in trust by their disabled son. So as far as I understand it she has no financial interest in the house.
She says that now the only place she owns is the flat in Brighton. |
If the son is under eighteen she continues to be a potential beneficiary of the trust. So she has a financial interest in the property. | |
