Angie is doing PMQ's today apparently.
"Dowden says it is a pleasure to be facing Rayner again at PMQs. Any more sessions like this and she will be claiming this is her primary residence."He also sounded like school boy whose plums hadn’t dropped yet, what was that all about.

I thought the opposite to you. She was certainly rattled
Only if viewed through a Daily Mail-esque filter. For a woman who used to be a cleaner, I think she does really well.And I find it odd that anyone would refer to speaking after the pantomime performances of Bojo.
What are you saying now, you don’t expect cleaners to be able to read a script, bit derogatory.

The absolutely barmy thing about that Telegraph article is that they've assigned at least a dozen officers to the Rayner case.
You mean they're assigning a lot of resources to their investigation? Excellent. I look forward to seeing what facts they uncover.You or I could have a £50k car stolen that could be used in crime and could do a lot of harm and we'd get a crime number, but an opposition MP dodging £1500 of tax 10 years ago, or using an address on an electoral roll that was actually a mile away, gets investigated by a dozen coppers. Engaging a dozen coppers in near non-crimes is certainly a way of supressing facts on real crime.
When any reasonable claims are made regarding politically engaged people acting criminally, there's always a heightened response.
She's also not just an "opposition MP". She's deputy PM, in an election year, where she's likely to hold a significant office in government. The fact there's not just one question, but many, also adds to the complexity and need for decent resourcing so there's no delays.
Watson has been suggested by various back-benchers as a suitable Metropolitan Police CC; suggesting his 'robust' approach would replace the current 'woke, weak, policing'. One of those back-benchers is James Daly, the same James Daly who wrote to Watson encouraging him to reopen the Rayner investigation.
"Renovations add a new dimension to Angela Rayner’s council house furore"
"Angela Rayner’s renovations to her former council house can be revealed as its new owners say they still receive her post nearly a decade after she left.
The deputy Labour leader enlarged her kitchen, installed a new fireplace and replaced windows in refurbishments which could offset her capital gains bill, planning documents seen by The Times show."

It’s not worked. Attacking Raynor. It’s gone wrong and they should leave it.
It’s a bit like Labour under Corbyn going at Boris. People feel some odd affinity with a positive national stereotype. ‘Fierce Northern Woman’ is one of those. ‘Daft Posh Bloke’ is another. They just made him stronger, as everybody forgives Mr Toad. Even though Toad is an utter bd.
I quite like Raynor - but I think, much like Boris, power will overwhelm her.
Corbyn, by the way, was a negative national stereotype. ‘Enraged sociology teacher’ - doesn’t fly.

Wont be long until the usual crowd pile in saying the renovations were fake or overpriced or both.
Either she was living there so no CGT was due because it was her primary residence (as she originally insisted) or she didn't live there and no CGT is due because she renovated. Which is it?sugerbear said:

Depends on what the kitchen work was. It looks like a cheap kitchen and it was 10-15 years ago but if extending it needed knocking through a supporting wall plus adjusting pipes then it could easily tip it over. Windows don't cost that much and fireplaces are quite cheap.If she is going to rely on spending tens of thousands of pounds on renovations then why not just say that initially and get rid of the story? Wanting a bigger kitchen isn't newsworthy at all.

The Information Commissioner Office (ICO) has ordered the Government to reveal details of Rishi's dealings with the hedge fund ("Theleme") he founded, as the hedge fund originally made an investment in Moderna of $500m when the company was valued at $7bn (today worth $41bn).
Government ordered to disclose Sunak’s hedge fund emails

FOI Decision Notice

Moderna went on to win various UK Government contracts for its Covid Vaccine. There are various messages between Sunak (as Chancellor) and Theleme that relate to Thelma, Moderna and the UK vaccine procurement. The Good Law Project requested copies but were denied. The ICO have said they must disclose them.
The messages may be entirely innocent... But. Why initially try to block them being disclosed.

By that you actually mean she's stated her position repeatedly but hasn't shared the details with you, the end of level boss.
This thread is delicious, the sheer amount of frothing righteousness, smashing into the rocks of reality every day is a sight to behold. Harry, Dan, Guido, all burning the candle at both ends to propel this nothingburger into the public consciousness & yet it just won't do what they want. I can smell the disappointment from here. Look at it this way lads, it's a handy warm up for the GE, an early bird ticket to the theatre of crushed dreams.
