@Peston Rachel Reeves previously supported a local Labour councillors push for more selective licensing in Leeds to tackle rogue landlords

[Lostintranslation @Sonny496]

@Peston Gaalighting by Labour client journalists. Breaking the law isn't minor.

Reeves was talking about licencing laws just 10 days ago.

@Peston Remember how Labour went after Sunak for not wearing his seatbelt in the back of a car? I think Reeves breach of rules is significantly higher than this one, don’t you? She should be prosecuted for fraud, not simply allowed to pay back the £38k rent, right @Peston ??

Kemi Badenoch’s call for Starmer to sack Reeves, for failing to register her family home when she rented it on moving to Downing Street, lowers the bar quite significantly for sackable offences by ministers. I am not certain all her shadow cabinet colleagues will thank her.

The point is that there is a clear distinction between Rayner’s failure to take stamp duty advice and Reeves’s failure to register her home with the council for rent.

In the case of Rayner, there was the potential for very large personal material gain. Her dismissal was inevitable.

In Reeves’s case, it’s theoretically possible that her local council would have imposed conditions on her when renting. Also it is embarrassing for her that she had previously welcomed a different council’s decision to regulate renters.

But she seems to have proof of her ignorance that her own council required registration. And she has apologised for not making the effort to find out for sure.

The prime minister’s ethics adviser - Laurie Magnus, the morals watchdog originally appointed by a Conservative PM Rishi Sunak - has accepted her public apology as punishment enough.

And her reputation has been damaged for being hasty and sloppy in her personal affairs.

But should the PM “grow a backbone and sack her now”, in the excited words of a Tory statement overnight?

Maybe.

But if Reeves’s transgression is a sackable offence, would Badenoch sack shadow cabinet members for driving at 23 mph in a 20 mph zone, for example?

Some would say speeding is a worse offence, that carries greater risk to life than what Reeves did, but at the moment the consensus would be that a minister can pay the fine and get on with the day job.

Badenoch is apparently saying that almost all cock ups in a minister’s personal life should disqualify them from holding public office.

Would that stipulation really give the British people the public servants they deserve, or perhaps simply deter anyone with common sense from going into politics?

Reform UK Implodes: 34 Down and Counting

This isn’t a revolution it’s a meltdown. 34 Reform councillors gone: quit, sacked, or stripped of the whip. The “party of the people” can’t even manage itself. All bile, no backbone collapsing under its own ego.

@OperaSocialist Yup

I tell you what is over represented on UK television: Reform and Farage.

A party of just 5 racist MPs

[Nick Reeves #RejoinEU #NAFO #FBPE @nickreeves9876]

Farage squirms as Rep. Jamie Raskin obliterates the "Putin-loving, free speech imposter, Trump sycophant".

Please share as widely as possible.

Why are our hapless British politicians incapable of making such a speech?

@GuillermElodie Yes 100%

We will never descend into the gutter of blaming minorities for the problems in our society.

It is the unity of all communities that can take on the rich and powerful — and win.

@MartinSLewis You help so many grateful people there will always be nasty comments no matter how much you try they are not worth listening to. I have listened to you for years and never felt you issued anything but impartial advise on anything. Big thank you from a grateful person here. 😁👍
