Seems like rishi is going to cling on as long as he can. If his "mates" let him, there's yet more squabbling between the rats in the sack. Will he make it to November?

If they get rid of rishi now, they would have to call a general election. To have yet another unelected leader would be just too much.

To have yet another unelected leader would be just too much. I don't see why. You elect an MP at a general election. You never elect a PM. The PM is elected by the party who gets the most MPs. The PM is not a dictator, unlike Russia. The SNP moaned and whined and sobbed when the Tory party got a new leader (or two) without calling an election. Right up to the moment Nicola stood down and Hammy Useless was put in without calling a Scottish election. Then they shut up about it, funnily enough.

Let's not forget the organised handover from Blair to Brown.
We should always check our own work before criticising the work of others. If we wish to avoid making fools of ourselves, that is.

I've said this before but what's needed is an HMRC investigation into the affairs of Ms. Rayner. There's public information out there which suggests a strong possbility of tax fraud. Police aren't needed to carry out an investigation into potential tax fraud.

According to the posted article, The renewed police investigation into breaking electoral law has nothing to do with alleged tax fraud!π€·π»ββοΈπ

All well and good if the police wish to investigate the alleged criminal misdeclaration on the electoral roll. This shouldn't deflect from the need for an HMRC investigation, following apparent damning information in the public realm, that Ms. Rayner engaged in tax fraud. Ms. Rayner stated 'it was my only home, therefore no capital gains tax was due'. This is spectacular ignorance. The dispensation to not be required to pay capital gains tax on a single home requires the owner to be resident there. Ms Rayner ought to know this. Maybe she did, her statement being a desperate, but very naive attempt to wriggle out of her wrongdoings.
HMRC may be quitely investigating this now. Let's hope so.

I'm torn between describing her as a gobshite, or a human foghorn. I think the arguments for both are fairly equal.

The plot thickens with Stockport Council reviewing a claim for a single person's council tax discount at Angela's property.π© It may be that in her haste to avoid claims of a CGT liability she has forgotten all about the electoral roll and council tax laws!π Bloody Gingas huhβ¦Can you really trust them?π www.thetimes.co.uk/article/angela-rayner-council-house-tax-husband-2gjnb9hzb

It's obviously not as simple as 'It was my only home, no capital gains tax was due'. Followed by a rant about non-doms. This is the thing with gobshites. Give them a position of responsibility, give them a bit of time, they always hang themselves.

Given the unpunished Β£375,000'misdemeanour' of one Lord Mandleson in the 90's, and the collusion with Geoffrey Robinson at the time, to say little of his passport issue influence in 2000, Angela Rayner's pecadillo is small beer, and having been summarily dismissed by a police force who couldn't even spell her name right in the rush to close the matter, I doubt that anything is likely to happen. Mandleson did retire twice, but knew his pal Tony Blair would come good when the dust settled. rayner may not have the right friends in the right places as it seems from reports in the past that she only got the job (as a leftie Momentum type) as pacifism to the left when it looked like it wouldn't mean anything. Starmer may see an opportunity to be rid of her.
