Would you have an issue with a homosexual prime minister?

Anyway, he won't win as i say, the soft left just won't have him. Miliband has a stronger chance.

The thing is Streeting does really represent my wing of the party but i think it'd split the party too much and we'd have three years crumbling into the terrible situation the conservatives are now in.

There are no green shoots there, they are quiet because they currently are of no real issue, the fact that the local elections were awful for them as well and it go no mention whatsoever shows how little they mean to the national political discourse currently - believe me being quiet isnt a strategy😁

And the right talk about performative snowflake screeching 😆

I really hope they go to town on the 5 million quid thing resulting in a punishment - preferably suspension.

Me and my ilk love nothing more than a patriotic martyr. Like some of the ridiculous barbs posted by lefties and assorted centrists on here - a sure and certain way to garner even more support for Reform. More please.

Absolutely not a cult. Or is it Ltd company? 😁

I'm going to need some evidence I'm afraid.

Got absolutely none apart from the absolute convenience of it. HMRC decided the Housing minister who lied about taking legal advice had accidentally underpaid her housing tax (but without being negligent!) and so no penalty needed - and btw we'll announce it the day she needs a political boost.

Bit Le Tissier all that. HMRC are in cohoots to give Raynor a runway to being PM.

Even when she's been cleared its not enough for some.

I'd lay off the tin foil for a while.

According to the news this morning. She and her team have known this for a period of time but have been 'keeping their powder dry' as it were. 

I'm not so sure HMRC would be daft enough to expedite an investigation to try to support someone's political ambitions. 

[Not in Crawley]

Yes it was annonuced this morning via the Guardian, no dount shes been sat on it until after seeing how the locals went.

Which you would do.

The idea that this isnt managed and is HMRC involved is just plain silly.

She did take legal advice, but that advice told her to take expert tax advice as she was a trustee of a house of her 17 year old son 

She did not take the extra advice and this is why she stepped down. The idea that HMRC have in some way helped her out with the timing of the announcement is pure tin hat speculation. You can just you do like the ‘sinister slag’ as someone else does on this thread. 
 

Any speculation you would like to share on Farages financial affairs ? Start with his house purchase and work you way to his multi million pound cash gift.

Me too. Followed by a recall petition and by election.

Rupert Lowe will run one of his moonmen, split the gammons and Nige can fuck off back to his grubby little 'up the 'ra' videos for a few quid

Would be fucking beautiful.

Angela has already claimed she only found out on Tuesday, so clearly she's just a plain silly billy.

Can you think of anything that was going on on Tuesday that might made her and her team reluctant to announce the verdict right away?

Not in the least... it'll get up Trump's nose

No, she's released the info now as its expedient, not as you suggested that HMRC where in on it.

Either you're naive about how politics works or just willfully suggesting that she's in the wrong for doing so because you simply dont like her very much.

Either way, its not her thats the silly billy.

Not really, I'd imagine there have been plenty secretly homosexual PMs.

It's all madness, massive majority so no need to panic and they can do whatever they like within reason.

But... they seem paralysed with regards to decisiveness and communicating... for example we are facing a huge energy crisis this winter and all they can do is big themselves up. Gas exploration companies needed the green light in the North Sea back in March to open reserves this summer, Reeves stated it would happen, Milliband objected, Starmer had a cabinet meeting and still hasn't shown any leadership and made a decision.

She’s got ginger pubes.

That should be enough for any critic surely?

Given maaarsh is Tory Boy I'm sure he's delighted at any of Reforms cock ups.

At least you're happy to admit, that if he's found guilty of wrong doing, you'll still support. Like Trump, he could fuck kids, and his supporters would find away of shifting the blame away from Farage and onto the children.

She's the best selling female rapper in history. She's also gone full MAGA, now good frienda with Trump, is a vaccine skeptic, made a very odd crusade esque speach at the UN and generally is a populist far righter.

Not sure even the Conservatives will lean into this endorsement.

[BobyBrno]

Seems ok.
