Nope, I was suggesting that in light of the weak (that would be none) hounding of tory MPs and peers who lined their own pockets and that of the their friends to the tune of tens of millions that Rayner and the Labour party maybe thought her heeding poor advice on stamp duty would not be seen as that important. But of course they all forgot that the tory press is suddenly very energetic, resourceful and vocal when it comes to finding fault with articulate Labour MPs. And tory MPs themselves are very good at suddenly becoming outraged at any fault found. This story about Rayner is primarily about faux outrage.
Edit for clarity - the faux outrage is from the tory press and tory MPs - I have no doubt that people expressing their disgust and anger at Rayner at genuine in their own outrage. Outrage here is like a virus grown in a lab, it starts artificial but when you catch it the effect is real.
All I can say is whatever their party they’re an uninspiring bunch and simply just out to feather their own nests.
Most discouraging to any member of the public hoping naively to find a poltician with integrity.
I agree @Morticia. I was discussing the present political situation with my son and he asked me if there was any politician who I would trust - I couldn’t think of anyone, what a state of affairs.
All the electorate wanted was a bit of hope, direction and steadiness after the farcical last couple of years of the Tory government. We all know that it’ll eventually turn to sh!£e at some point. It always does. But I think we kinda hoped it’d take longer than 6 months of being in office.
Its a hot potato Dex, why oh why would anyone want to run with it?
Hi Morty
My life has been such that I have had to work closely with with some Politicians.
Not by choice, just sort of ended up there, not everything turns out as we wanted life to be.
Politicians with Integrity are few and far between, but they do exist.
They are even rarer at Minister Level, they tend not to float naturally to the top.
I was quite young and idealistic when I first started to have to deal with them directly.
In the ensuing 4 decades I came across 4 whose names people would recognise and two of them, would I think, surprise some.
You would get a communication asking for Information in Confidence on a specific matter, which you could supply and which you would never be disclosed as the source.
These things where current and where a rat was smelt, someone deliberately misleading the Public.
You had to be very careful in who you dealt with, as some Politicians would drop you right in it without a thought if it suited them.
You could lose your job and your Pension.
Two were Labour, two Tory, none Lib Dems.
Not a huge percentage of our Elected Representatives, but totally trustworthy.
We would be totally stuffed without such people.
Nigel Farage (pronounced ‘faridge’ like garage!?) has been exposed as a hypocrite, the scummy little toad that he is:
My MP is a lady of letters I am still awaiting a reply to the last one I sent her.
I judge people, especially politicians, on how they treat others. I had cause to write to my MP, a Tory, some years ago regarding a problem I had. Within 2 weeks he had contacted the relevant department, sorted a solution and replied to me.
Over the last 6 months I have contacted 3 Labour politicians, my local councillor, the regional mayor and my MP - none have replied
Its the same when you ask a question on Ebay.
Have you ever tried asking a sales assistant.
There never has been much Oomph out there in reality, there was much Oomph promised in CVs but it never turned tangible 
i’m right out of Oomph ha
Looks like its time to “Stick it up ya Jumpa” 
good idea
The sales people in Bunnings seem to either know everything or absolutely nothing there is no halfway with them.
They are - more often than not - gormless idiots here. And you’ll be lucky if you can find one that speaks English.
Hey Ho. Another Can of Maggots Opened.
Ellie Reeves. Sister of Rachel Reeve’s. Chancellor of The Exchequer
Sacked from the cabinet. !!
That won’t go down well in the Reeves Empire.
Fasten the “Seat” Belt.
Every indication, of a mass Cross Bench Exodus. From Labour >> Reform ? Per chance, !!
You have to go looking for them here.
Yep, just consult the forum ‘Think Tank’…
