The “she’s one of our own” brigade will no doubt be on here shortly mounting a strong deflection defence on her behalf..I'm surprised there is no mention of her being investigated by the Police for giving a wrong address of her hereditament.
On second thoughts , no I'm not surprised, as she is not a Tory.
And what police investigation is this ?I'm surprised there is no mention of her being investigated by the Police for giving a wrong address of her hereditament.

Majority aren't, who can forget the legacy of Diane 'The Brain' AbbottThis is what scares me about Labour, Rayner is not the brightest
Not heard anything about a police investigation so couldn't possibly comment.I'm surprised there is no mention of her being investigated by the Police for giving a wrong address of her hereditament.

amazing how you can make that comment but if i say the looney left wingers are missing from the thread i'ts likely to get deleted. Why is that? It's because of total impartiality of the moderators on this site.RWNJs out in force today! Thank goodness they are in the minority!
How about we drag out an interview from seven years ago as a stick to beat Rayner with?This is what scares me about Labour, Rayner is not the brightest.
(for the avoidance of doubt, plenty of other Labour and Tory MPs scare me as well)
So, Rayner and Abbott. In what forum does that constitute a majority?Majority aren't, who can forget the legacy of Diane 'The Brain' Abbott
Drag out what you like - she is a foul mouthed hypocrite who (for me) should not be anywhere near power!How about we drag out an interview from seven years ago as a stick to beat Rayner with?
You'll need to get down to that polling station and cast your one vote.What a vile woman.
Labour must be kept away from power at all costs.
Fortunately democracy isn't all about you.Drag out what you like - she is a foul mouthed hypocrite who (for me) should not be anywhere near power!
I know - sadly!Fortunately democracy isn't all about you.
Maybe Rayner just forgot where she lived?I'm surprised there is no mention of her being investigated by the Police for giving a wrong address of her hereditament.
On second thoughts , no I'm not surprised, as she is not a Tory.
For the tax, yes, but the OP's suggestion is that she may have committed an offence by using a false address for electoral purposes, which would be a matter for the police.Wouldn’t such an investigation be carried out by HMRC, rather than the Police ?
It doesn't, its a sampleSo, Rayner and Abbott. In what forum does that constitute a majority?
As requested by a couple of other posters could you please post evidence of this “police investigation”. As far as I can tell what’s happened is that Tory bigwig and renowned tax exile Lord Ashcroft has made some allegations in a book. The book has been serialised in the Mail on Sunday. And off the back of that a couple of Tory MPs claim to have contacted GMP and HMRC.I'm surprised there is no mention of her being investigated by the Police for giving a wrong address of her hereditament.

Like the Parliamentary Standards investigation into Michael Gove it looks to be a nothingburger.As requested by a couple of other posters could you please post evidence of this “police investigation”.

If that’s right then pitchforks and chants of “Burn the Witch” are a tad premature.
What was it Rishi said about Mob Rule?
Potentially tax fraud and election fraud at the same time, that's not a nothing.Like the Parliamentary Standards investigation into Michael Gove it looks to be a nothingburger.
So Zahawi 'forgetting' to pay £1 million plus in capital gains, Hunt 'forgetting' to declare 7 houses and Rees-Mogg offshoring to The Republic of Ireland to avoid paying tax are very similar.Labour policy to increase amount of time you live in a council house before being able to buy it.

Majority aren't, who can forget the legacy of Diane 'The Brain' Abbott
Is there a police investigation?The other issues seem to be did she pay:
If not that could be a problem for her.
- income tax on the rents received from her brother, and;
- capital gains tax on the disposal of the property?
Didn’t Priti Patel invent a new number system in an interview?Yep, I remember Abbott demonstrating her lack of ability at mental arithmetic, in an interview when not in government.
Recently I heard Laura Trott, being interviewed by Evan Davis, and not being able to grasp the concept of `debt to GDP` and whether it is actually going up or down, and whether this meant there would be any `fiscal headroom` or not.
She is Chief Secretary to the Treasury.
One was laughable but completely inconsequential, and one was rather concerning with a budget coming up...
EmbarrassingGosh she's a rough old bird. She could be representing this country on the international stage in the not too distant future.
On a forum where there are mysogynists hiding in plain sight.So, Rayner and Abbott. In what forum does that constitute a majority?
Disgusting post.Post removed.
Yeah, what we really need is another Old Etonian at the helm.....Post removed.
Is there a police investigation?
I always thought Cameron and Boris did a relatively good job, the latter being let down by poor personal organization and surprisingly poor communication skills.I’d be glad to never see an old Etonian in a position of ministerial power ever again.
It’s been a shitshow from all those named
You've got to be joking. A good job? One lost us billions trying to appease the RWNJs and the other lost us lives through prevarication as well as billions.I always thought Cameron and Boris did a relatively good job, the latter being let down by poor personal organization and surprisingly poor communication skills.
Totally, totally agreeJust flicked through the thread, most of you are as bad as each other!
As long as you blindly support Labour or Conservative as if it were your football team the country will suffer.
We need a whole new way of doing things where the best minds and the best people, left, right and centre work together for the good of the country, and not their financial backers and their own pockets/egos.

Unfortunately changing the problem is more difficult than identifying it, I have no idea how we change other than possibly boycotting the major party's but that could open the door to even less well intentioned and untalented individuals!Totally, totally agree

I've studied the PR options vs first past the post (FPTP), and the advantages vs disadvantages of all options are fairly well balanced. FPTP provides for stronger decision making - when the governing party isn't in-fighting. PR is more representative of a wider range of views but it can end up with a Government that pleases no-one.
Only other country in Europe who has our voting system is Belarus says it all really.
This two party can only win an election is utter shite so you end up with mediocrity.
Red get in then blue and back to red meanwhile all those talented folk from the Greens,social democrats, Liberals etc etc are thrown aside.
Vote Green. Pointless in our first past the post voting system.Sorry all, I couldn't answer your questions as I've been out all day.
Seen on Yahoo. Angela Rayner could face a police investigation over a council house row after a Tory MP reported her to Greater Manchester Police.
Ms Rayner, the deputy Labour leader, is accused of providing false information about her living circumstances before she sold her former council home.
James Daly, the Conservative MP for Bury North, has written to Greater Manchester Police to demand an investigation after Ms Rayner appeared to give two different addresses in official documents.
WHAT IS THE SOLUTION?
Vote Green.
All PR does is guarantee you get the same bunch every time.Vote Green. Pointless in our first past the post voting system.

So you were moaning about the lack of commentary on a police investigation that doesn't exist?Sorry all, I couldn't answer your questions as I've been out all day.
