@JonAshworth HS2 was/is a complete waste of money. Only a politician could think saving 20 mins to London from a station 30 mins away from where anyone lives, and probably £200 return when you can get to London quicker by car on £30 of diesel was going to change the fortunes on northerners
@campbellclaret What business event? What was the demographic? Who were the delegates? Because I’m in several business networking groups and everyone hates Labour and we all feel that we’ve just got to hang in there until the next GE and hope Starmer has taken us beyond repair
@bradley915@afneil The list of shocking decisions & U-turns is the stuff of legend, but putting all that aside, Starmers inability to get a grip of welfare spending, and the grooming gangs scandal amongst his own voters is shocking enough, but unemployment in the 18-25’s is an unforgivable legacy
@GBNEWS NO! Tighten them up, they might realise everyone cries mental health the second they have a bit of stress to deal with. Then we can stop pandering to pathetic people. The sooner they learn they’re wasting their time, so the money can go to people you ACTUALLY need it the better.
@afneil I cannot believe Nicola was unaware. Always immaculately dressed, which costs a lot of money. If I turned up with. £130k camper van, I guarantee you my wife is going to want to know how the hell I paid for it. We continue to be taken for fools by politicians.
@HarrietSergeant I read the article on Sky News earlier in utter disbelief. It’s always ADHD’s fault nowadays. I hate to sound Neanderthal, but the art of a bit of discipline from parents and teachers is coming home to roost, not to mention a modern world full of dysfunctional family life.
@piersmorgan@Filbert631 All that will happen is that we’ll have to endure a dodgy PM for longer than they warrant. The system has been the system for centuries, but I do agree on one thing, they must do better.
@GBNEWS Let’s be honest, it’s a clown show, I’m not sure who it appeals to from a viewing perspective, but our entrant is the most irritating and least talented person I think I’ve ever seen.
How on earth has Angela Rayner been "cleared" by HMRC?
She didn't pay the extra £40,000 stamp duty that was due. She didn't take the specialist tax advice on her flat purchase that she was advised to take.
She failed to pay the extra stamp duty that she, as Housing Secretary, had brought in for second home purchasers.
For HMRC not to issue a fine means they judged her decision as "reasonable care" having been taken, or it was possibly "careless", but not a "deliberate" underpayment.
She clearly did not take "reasonable care" to ensure her tax was correct. And if it was "careless", it was *deliberate* carelessness.
Do you seriously think that if YOU underpaid your taxes by £40,000 as the then Deputy Prime Minister did, that you would get away without a fine?
Sorry, but this stinks.
