I’m refusing to get into a debate on why I don’t take part in something that I can’t be bothered about,whenever I look on the news there’s always a politician mentioned at sometime who’s been looking after themselves and lining their pockets,it was a woman from the Labour Party a few days ago when I tuned in so it’s just not the Conservatives who are crooked,I’m just going to leave it to everyone else who’s got an interest and let them argue amongst themselves

The trouble is no matter who you vote for the government gets in

Chalky 2024
I've read my posts again Chalky and I definitely can't see any mention of the Labour Party.

My intention was to emphasise the importance of voting, whatever your political beliefs.

Personally I am very critical of the current government. I would like to get rid of them because under their 14 years of power most things in the UK seem to have deteriorated and your complaint about the state of the NHS is a good example of this.

With regard to Angela Rayner (the Labour politician you are referring to) it was The Mail on Sunday (owned by The 4th Viscount Rothermere, a billionaire who lives overseas and doesn't pay any UK taxes) that started the current right wing media frenzy regarding her alleged failure to pay Capital Gains Tax when she sold her council house in 2015.

The amount involved is relatively small (circa £1500) and Angela Rayner claims that she received legal advice that no Capital Gains Tax was ever due on the sale. At the request of a Conservative MP, Greater Manchester Police are now investigating the sale. Angela Rayner has said that she will resign if the police believe there is a case to answer.

Compared to the billions of pounds embezzled by Conservatives and their cronies via PPE contracts during the COVID crisis the Angela Rayner tax issue is clearly miniscule and, to most impartial observers, the Mail attack is politically motivated (no doubt other similar attacks will follow) in the lead up to the General Election later this year.

Anyway, from what you have said, it is clear that none of this will be of any interest to you.
