Rayner defends herself after selling council house for profit
Labour's deputy leader and shadow housing secretary defends her criticism of right-to-buy - and says the Tories have "put the dream of a secure home out of reach for so many".
I’m sorry, Tories funnel astronomically absurd amounts of money to their friends during COVID and the response is to try and hang the opposition for legally selling their legally owned house for a small profit?
Boris Johnson got paid £160,000 to play tennis with an ex Russian politician’s wife and that’s all hunky dory but heaven forbid you sell your house that you bought.
I think she puts it best in that article. The problem isn't helping people to own their own house, its that the stock of social housing isn't being replaced.
You can dislike this woman and this iteration of 'new labour' for many legitimate reasons, but this isn't one of them.
She's one of the few in labour I actually like.
So you like a racist, Zionist supporter. Lovely.
I'm a tax professional so can say with confidence that this is the Tories/shitty papersclutching at straws at a complete non event. It is absolutely pissing me off given how much tax evasion goes on by rich people, how much room there is for reducing tax for rich people (non Dom status, offshore trusts, various tax reliefs for owner managed businesses, etc), how complex the tax laws are (especially for normal people who can't afford a litany of advisors), and the other corruption scandals (PPE, party donations, expense scandals, etc). The tax owed might be nothing but at most orient 3/4k.
Also, my e-bike, which is my main and only source of transport, got stolen recently and it's in the same ballpark as this tax liability (1.5k) - how do I get 12 police officers to investigate this as reported it but they magically couldn't find anything even though it was locked next to ATMs on a busy London High street...
