A little bit about Andy Burnham...
He has repeatedly ignored Rochdale and Oldham rape gangs.
He wasted £100m+ on failed Clean Air Zone before U-turning.
He oversaw Greater Manchester Police collapse amid a crime surge.
He was Health Secretary during the Mid-Staffordshire NHS deaths scandal and cover-up between 2005-2008.
He claimed £17k expenses for a London flat within walking distance of Parliament.
He's just as bad as the rest of them, perhaps even worse...
I guess that’s why the pound tumbled upon news of his leadership bid.
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.
@ChrisAS350AS355@davidkurten Sorry, that figure is out of date, the UK national debt is now over £3.1 trillion and over 100% of GDP. We need to get this down, not borrow more!!!
@ChrisAS350AS355@davidkurten ...and we have to borrow the money to do it. Our national debt is currently over £2.9 TRILLIÒN and over 93% of GDP. We don't have the money to do things like this.
@davidkurten@johndmtb The level of our national debt means that we are effectively borrowing money (that we don't have) to give to Ukraine. Why can't they borrow it themselves?
Thank you Germany 🇩🇪and Britain 🇬🇧 for sacrificing your economies to save the planet.
China appreciates you exporting your manufacturing to provide jobs for their citizens.
State control under Mad Ed means normal tumble driers will be banned!
You now have to spend more money on something that takes longer, doesn’t work efficiently in cold rooms and erm .., costs more.
It’s the heat pump tumble drier 🤡
Conspiracy Theorists for the win…
Senator Ron Johnson: “Biden Officials purposely concealed the adverse events associated with the Covid Vaccines”
837, 595 adverse events
17, 619 cases of deaths reported
“I didn’t need an algorithm to tell me that something is going on here”
Funny how the Speaker now says he “can’t” tell the PM to answer the question. Yet when Boris Johnson was in office, he did exactly that—on record.
Same chair, different standards.
