23. Author: P Date: Thu 28th Aug 2025. 17:53 Roger Daltrey, Thu 28 Aug 07:40 The emphasis of the press seems to be even greater this time round, it was only something like 30 days before socials were full of nonsense like Starmers broken Britain when they couldn’t possibly have even done anything. It’s almost like folk don’t realise they are being led by the nose. In reality I think Labour could make a #### of it even without the press spin. Reply |
24. Author: Dave_1885 Date: Thu 28th Aug 2025. 18:23 P, Thu 28 Aug 17:53 Watch LBC - it’s pretty fascinating how some of them react to things in the news. Nick Ferrari is such a Tory swill its obvious. Others try to be pragmatic and fairly even on both sides of the debate. Then James O’Brien on the left leaning side of it, but has more recently called out Starmer for things. Just shows how easily they can manipulate it to their own agenda.

25. Author: DBP Date: Fri 29th Aug 2025. 09:02 Latest reports saying she said it was her main home to save paying additional stamp duty off c. £40k Guess it’s labour’s turn to feather the nest of themselves and their other champagne socialist pals Reply |
26. Author: Bandy Date: Fri 29th Aug 2025. 15:24 I hate to break it to you but £700k certainly doesn`t get you a `luxury` pad in Hove - you`ll get a 3-bed semi, or a semi-decent apartment. Reply |
27. Author: Jimmy riddell Date: Fri 29th Aug 2025. 20:16 To be factually correct it was reported as £800k. Just saying. Reply |
28. Author: Jimmy riddell Date: Fri 29th Aug 2025. 21:12 It does seem that Rayner’s flip flopping of her primary residence has been to minimise both capital gains tax on a previous transaction and currently to minimise stamp duty and council tax on her new residences. It appears she is currently registered to vote in three locations. This is the Minister for Housing who is currently pushing through Parliamentary legislation on the taxation of second homes. Hypocrisy? Post Edited (Fri 29 Aug 21:13) Reply |
29. Author: veteraneastender Date: Sat 30th Aug 2025. 09:09 Roger Daltrey, Thu 28 Aug 07:40 Is that not the point ? We expect the Tories to self serve, however Labour have (?) a different set of standards …… in theory. She may be thinking of life outside Westminster - if Farage’s facists continue to surge in popularity her 6,000 odd majority makes her a priority target for Reform. Reply |
30. Author: jake89 Date: Sat 30th Aug 2025. 10:19 She`s not doing anything illegal. UK tax laws have more holes than Swiss cheese. Reply |
31. Author: Jimmy riddell Date: Sat 30th Aug 2025. 11:06 That’s strange since in the 70’s the Tax Codes ran to about 1600 pages versus about 25000 now and more to come in October. Maybe that’s the real problem! Reply |
32. Author: ipswichpar Date: Sat 30th Aug 2025. 11:18 jake89, Sat 30 Aug 10:19 Time will tell if the allegations that are being made are upheld or not. If she has breached tax law OR has acted in a way that`s inconsistent with the messages she has getting out to the public from her privileged position then she clearly needs to go. That being said, given she`s going through a divorce at the moment then if it`s a short term oversight I would have sympathy with her given what`s she`s having to juggle. I think it has got to the point where she can put this to bed by giving a detailed explanation and cutting the allegations off at the knees. Reply |
33. Author: NMCmassive Date: Sat 30th Aug 2025. 22:32 She’s not the only one who does this. I suspect there’s someone who’s no longer wanting her involved and they believe this is the best way to expose her. I’ve got to say though, I hate how politics and government has ended up here. Westminster and Holyrood are so bloated. They’re full of corrupt wannabe idiots. They are the root cause of 100% of the issues we face as citizens of the UK. I really believe we need to scale back the size of our government and our bureaucracy COYP Reply |

35. Author: NMCmassive Date: Sun 31st Aug 2025. 12:30 LochgellyAlbert, Sat 30 Aug 23:51 Exactly. With all this technology we could get the government down to about a 3rd of its current size and budget. We don’t need it. COYP Reply |
36. Author: DBP Date: Sun 31st Aug 2025. 12:49 Also, for every msp, mla and ms - there should be an equal reduction in Westminster Reply |
37. Author: NMCmassive Date: Sun 31st Aug 2025. 13:33 DBP, Sun 31 Aug 12:49 That’s called independence. Devolution was a total cop out. We should have just jumped straight to independence or not. Were shooting ourselves in the foot the way things are now. I’ve got to say though, independence is getting further and further away at the moment. Need to get rid of the current crop of SNP. It’s all been downhill since Alex Salmond left. COYP Reply |
38. Author: wee eck Date: Sun 31st Aug 2025. 14:16 Arguably, Salmond cost us independence by not having an answer to the currency question - and he was an economist. Reply |
39. Author: DBP Date: Sun 31st Aug 2025. 17:12 I thought (like Ireland did) we would use the pound until such time that economic divergence meant we had to either get the euro or create our own currency, again like Ireland did Anyway, devolution presumably meant that some of the activities carried out by mps in Westminster moved out to the individual country parliaments/assemblies - in which case their should have been a reduction in Westminster Post Edited (Sun 31 Aug 17:14) Reply |
40. Author: wee eck Date: Sun 31st Aug 2025. 17:27 Westminster won`t tolerate a situation where MPs from different parts of the UK have different responsibilities. They all have to be seen to be equal. That`s why they did away with EVEL. Having fewer MPs per head of population for the devolved nations would be similarly frowned upon I suspect. Reply |
