.....well she was Deputy Leader of the ruling party as opposed to one of a small band of brothers creating "noises off". Her position was rather more exposed. Also Rayner's misdeed was one of tax "evasion" as opposed to non disclosure of outside interests.

One thing they do have in common is that both immediately found someone else to blame (her tax adviser and his senior member of staff) - regardless of colour of rosette surely we the elctorate have a right to assume that our representatives will man up and accept responsibility for the actions of themselves, whether delegated or not. If a member of my staff ****ed up, it would be on me, but thats maybe the difference between commercial enterprise and being an MP
