The Labour Government

[BlueHammer85]

I can and will deny it because I’ve not suddenly developed some enlightened view of social media because it’s saying hurty words against my side all of a sudden.

Only muppets believe people get locked up for ‘hurty words’

No bother Kermit.

A person is responsible for their own financial and tax matters. For a Chancellor of the exchequer to be caught out by this is extremely embarrassing, particularly when she was extolling the virtues of such licensing schemes on twitter a few days ago.

How do you think this will help with the messaging of the Budget if she chooses to increase property taxes, particularly those on rental income? How do you think this helps with the broader perception around the government given the week it’s had with this sex offender migrant, being wrongly released and paid to behave himself on the flight home? Do you think it helps to address the perception that they’re stumbling from one cock up to another?

A few weeks away from another huge tax grab in order to correct the grave errors she made a year ago and we find out Reeves can’t even get her own finances and admin under control.

You’ve got to be a complete stooge if you refuse to see the relevance.

I've said it's not a good look. Now you conflate it with an illegal being deported- well done. No doubt you will get your way and the press and Badenoch will get what they want.

Let's see what the reaction the next time a minister( who is a person) says the'yre taking a few days off to make sure all of their matters are in order. There'll be bloody uproar.

Maybe every MP should be given a 2 week window and an amnesty to sort all of their affairs out. Any issues after that they get the book thrown at them.

With respect, the public are paying for her to be Chancellor, not a private landlord so a few days off to sort her personal business affairs out would be unacceptable.

Posters on her side are lashing out which I get but they have to accept that yet again, a labour minster has been found wanting when it comes to the highest standards of public life and being seen to be doing one thing whilst they legislate another for the rest of us.

It’s not our fault they’re useless ;-)

So once a minister = no private time?

We also pay for all MPs, but the likes of Farage spend more time on their other enterprises than they do the job the public pay them for.

There are some on here that would be unhappy if Reeves was giving them a blow job whilst at the same time cutting their tax by 100% ;-)

 

[hilts]

It’s never going to change when we have media and other sources scouring every single MP for absolutely anything backed up now by a tidal wave of social media outrage whether the ‘scandal’ is factual or not and with little context.

There is an old saying if you don't like the rules don't play the game, because they are all playing the game. They will call for each others head knowing full well their are loads from both sides doing the same thing.

How utterly predictable that the champagne socialists on this thread are trying to minimise and dismiss Rachel from Customer Services actions.

This isn't a trivial oversight under any circumstances and certainly not for someone who holds such an important position.

Her actions were either done with fraudulent intent or else she's so incompetent and irresponsible that she's utterly unfit for her position.

Having said that it will be a shame to see her go, I'm loving seeing this entire Labour cabinet demonstrate time and again how utterly corrupt, self serving and avaricious they all are.

They are all at it. It would be much easier if the Ministerial Code was statutory and contained provisions that if a minister is found to breach criminal or civil law whilst serving then they are obliged to stand down. Consistent, fair standard that should be easily attainable.

And neither by the sound of it are the letting agents. It's not a good look but imagine employing a company to do a professional job and they don't. Who do you blame, yourself or them?

But I also hope there is a serious look at who leaked the information to the DM, because i'd be amazed if there isn't a confidentiality clause in their contract. Or maybe Starmer shopped her so he can get rid ;-)

Ultimately it's a nothing story unless you're BKB or Gray

Many thanks Hampshire.

P.S. - I am down your way on the 16th for an overnight at a cheapish hotel before sailing off to the Canaries on the P&O Arcadia on the 17th. I will give you a wave from my suite on ‘B’ Deck.

Tories must be digging into her affairs very deeply to uncover this (and it was the letting agents fault) Shame they dont pay as much attention when their mates do it.

The Letting Agents have already confirmed they wrote to Reeves informing her of her specific obligations to obtain the appropriate licence for a rental property required in that area.

Ok

 

[Kinkladze 1]

You don’t need that long a memory to recall real incompetence.

That must make it ok then eh? There’s no one so good at shifting the blame or trying to minimise the issue than a liberal loony.

Have they?

Where’s the source for this?

 

[west didsblue]

Have they?

Not reported in any credible media.

 

[mosssideblue]

You’d think she had shot some poor fucker the way some are posting in here.

It’s white noise, more important things to worry about.

 

[west didsblue]

Have they?

Jacko just knows.

It’s word for word, post for post Raynor this.
