@ThePGTipschimp @KingBobIIV Social housing for life is the problem, trick your way in, then save for a private pension, all thanks to muggings the tax payer.

@ThePGTipschimp @KingBobIIV Exactly, he's the hypocrite I first thought of.

[Queen Bee @KingBobIIV]

We're living in the most ridiculous time of British history.

Sing it with hypocrisy.

Rayner's £182,000 Masterclass In Hypocrisy

Angela Rayner spent years telling the country that MPs' second jobs were a racket. In March 2023 she wrote that being an MP "isn't a second job. It is the job." Labour, she promised, would put an end to the practice. Eighteen months later she resigned from Cabinet in disgrace over her own financial affairs. Within a year she had earned £182,376 from speeches, book advances and a severance payment she had no obligation to keep. Then she walked straight back into the job she had left.

The figures are not subtle. She earned £104,000 from speaking fees in ten months, on top of an MP's salary that rose to £98,599 in April. She took £61,500 as a book advance for a memoir about her own life. She kept a £16,876 exit payment while Wes Streeting, reappointed to Cabinet the same week, is serving his first three months for nothing.

One fee stands apart from the rest. Propertymark, a trade body representing the property sector, paid Rayner £20,000 for a two-hour speaking engagement. That is £10,000 an hour, from an industry lobby group, paid to a former Housing Secretary weeks before she was reappointed Housing Secretary. Nobody pays that rate for after-dinner charm. They pay it for access, and they got exactly what they paid for. This is not a speaking fee. It is a retainer with a lectern attached.

The woman collecting these cheques left the department with a housebuilding record to be ashamed of. Official figures published by the Ministry of Housing in November show England delivered 208,600 net additional dwellings in 2024-25, a fall of 6 per cent on the year before. New build completions dropped from 198,610 to 190,600. Labour's manifesto promised 1.5 million homes over the Parliament, a rate of 300,000 a year. Rayner delivered barely two-thirds of that. Housebuilding did not accelerate under her stewardship. It slowed.

She has an answer ready for all of it. The severance payment was earned, she told BBC Radio 5 Live, because she had genuinely left government for a period of time. That defence collapses under its own logic. The payment exists to cushion ministers against sudden unemployment. Rayner was not unemployed. She was the best-paid backbencher in Britain, drawing more from four speeches than most of her constituents earn in three years.

Joanna Marchong of the think tank Onward put it plainly: Rayner built her brand attacking Tory sleaze and demanding a ban on MPs' outside earnings, then pocketed £180,000 the moment the rules stopped applying to her. Lee Anderson called her year out a good little earner. Both are right, and neither goes far enough. The deeper failure sits in the housing numbers, where the gap between rhetoric and delivery is measured not in pounds but in homes that were never built.

Labour came to power promising a government that would look different from what came before it. Rayner's year off shows how quickly that promise curdles into the same old story: rules for the public, exemptions for the powerful, and a lobby group's cheque book standing in for genuine accountability. She missed her housing target by a third and was rewarded with reappointment. She broke her own stated principle on second jobs and was rewarded with £182,376. The voters who elected this government on a promise of change deserve to know that the change stopped at the Cabinet door.

@JohnCleese UK law enforcement only goes after soft targets now - Its institutionally Two Tier!
Stopping us is easier that solving the problem.

@TheMercianNews Lucky he didn't tweet about it - that gets over 3 years. Liebour will have in out next year?

[MPsFailPeople @MPsFailPeople]

@Zoya_ki_batein The Victim deserves Justice - Why was that not considered the most important part!

[MPsFailPeople @MPsFailPeople]

@Lewie75 @EmmaforWycombe @BBCBreakfast 100% - they believe that saying it enough makes it true - unfortunately that's all some Liebour voters need to mindlessly fall in line with unquestionable 'solidarity' regardless of morality.

[Lewie @Lewie75]

@EmmaforWycombe @BBCBreakfast

[MPsFailPeople @MPsFailPeople]

@EmmaforWycombe @BBCBreakfast Liebour does not have Manefesto's or policies; Just individuals deciding what to do every time they change leader - effectively saying the last cabinet was incompetent and wrong.
Leadership by individual is not Political Party democracy.

[MPsFailPeople @MPsFailPeople]

@WONGthink So this is the black hole Reeves kept blaming - there is no way that this is anything less that financial incompetence and mis management from Governments folding to pressure groups.

[Jonathan Wong @WONGthink]

A staggering £10,300,000,000 has been spent on migrant accommodation between 2021 and 2025 alone.

This money could have bought over 340 dedicated Channel patrol vessels, or replaced the entire current Border Force fleet 34 times over.

@tag4UK If the Greens want it then its got ulterior motives.

[Allison Pearson @AllisonPearson]

No reservoirs built.

No prisons built.

No extra hospital beds.

No potholes filled.

Highest taxes for 70 years.

What are we getting for our money?

[MPsFailPeople @MPsFailPeople]

@DonnaLouise1212 Magistrates keep letting people off until people die. With little deterrent too many will be let of and some will kill innocents. Justice is not seen to be done.

[MPsFailPeople @MPsFailPeople]

@StevenEdginton So Two tier policing by consent.

[Landeur 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 @Landeur]

Might be the greediest politician in cabinet tbh.

First tried to dodge her taxes, caught, resigned, took a payout, and now won’t pay it back after she got her job back.

Mental tbh.

Let me introduce you to 'UzMania Grill, Dessert and Shisha' in Derby. 

The business was founded in 2021.

They sell pizzas, kebabs, wings, and wraps. 

They hold a certificate to sponsor 'Skilled Worker' visas. 

In 2023 it was assigned SEVENTY SIX Certificates of Sponsorship.

In just a single year. 

Countless similar businesses – barbers, fast-food shops, and dessert parlours – also held certificates to sponsor so-called skilled workers.  

Is slicing shawarma what comes to mind when you think of high-skilled labour? 

The Tories told us they were bringing in the “brightest and best” to fill skills shortages.

And make no mistake, it was the Tories that created this mad system.

That’s what the Boriswave was.
