OT This rotten Govt.Yet more scandal.

[UlleyMiller]

I can see why there's confusion around identity of the Labour party. The identity of the leader is a f***ing mystery. A man who is rich and in work, but yet needs to scrounge freebies from donors and obsess over his next job. A total enigma, it's as if there are sections of media just throwing any old sh*te out there and hoping something sticks.

They seem to be doing a good job, too. I'm sure they'll have a field day with Farage and his dealings... unless they don't want to for some reason...

I think they might be more shyte to come. I hear the tabloids have got the pictures of your tongue, wedged right up the crack of Harmers ar$e.

He'd have to push some Ukranian rent boys out the way first, according to several reports from certain people on social media....

Suddenly we have the HMRC clearing any "wrongdoing" over her non payment of stamp duty.Very convenient for Ms. Rayner. A nasty smell about all this,yet again.

Not necessarily. It's the conveyancing solicitor who usually advises on stamp duty and most of them don't understand the nuance of purchases that are not 'bog standard'. In our case they asked us to pay 26K more than we needed to and in the end we paid what I knew we had to pay at the time. After 6 months we also applied for and got a 13K refund. It took quite a bit of research to navigate the rules. I doubt Ms. Raymond bothered to or had time to do her research.

[KerrAvon]

Nonsense, Cam.

The Daily Mail ran 19 front pages about Rayner's 40k, so she must have knowingly flouted or not complicated at all tax rules.

She might have done if it was ?40k more than she expected to pay.

Pretty obvious what Labour stand for. Lying and lying same as Tories except Starmer takes it up a new level. Most people know he’s a liar the funny thing is he doesn’t believe the public think that of him. Narcissistic, stupid, deluded. Take your pick.

Time for Nigel, botn?

All the fuss about Nige?s ?5m gift will eventually blow over when Nige discovers a reason for the gift being given that convinces the majority of us.
I thought the ?security? explanation was quite convincing, but it soon became clear that, even to the dimmest voter, the timeline didn?t quite add up. Then there was Nige?s claim that the Speaker?s Office had advised him not to hold constituency surgeries in Clacton for ?security reasons?. No doubt due to work pressures (Nige has earned ?2m from interests outside Parliament to supplement his measly MP?s salary), Nige had forgotten that this advice was never given or received, even though Nige had a few million to spend on his security.
His latest explanation, that the ?5m was given as a ?reward? for 27 years of Brexit campaigning will hopefully convince any sceptics, and reminds us that Nigel was right to claim that Brexit would make us better off.

Not sure what your point is ?
What have I said that’s not true about Starmer?
That’s why labour got hammered because they just deflect and call everyone right wing or racist.

Well the voters have spoken they reject labour and the hypocrisy of who they are.
They don’t even represent labour voters anymore but hey deflect and denial.
Why have you assumed I voted for Nigel ?

The govt. were boasting about the diminishing number of illegal migrants coming over the channel last week and wanting us to believe they were cracking down on this inflow.Well, surprise,surprise the weather improves and over a thousand have come over in this Bank holiday weekend.This,unfortunately is going to get much,much worse as we get nearer the summer.Worryingly only 4% of these coming over on the "small boats" are sent back.The bare faced cheek of this govt.telling us "we are emptying the hotels" but in truth they are being housed all round the country in properties,more often than not in the north and midlands.

Not a word from the govt, condemning this horrendous murder of an 18 year old innocent student in Southhampton which was racially motivated.This is two tier politics,two tier judicial,two tier policing,directed from the top.After the George Floyd death, which was over in the USA, we had so much protesting in this country, defended by this govt, BUT no taking the knee for this British lad.Once again showing no respect for the native Brits.

[Stovicmiller]

GB news have covered this tragedy and led with it this morning, GMB led with the young lady who was tragically killed in Sheffield both senseless killings .
