Trump will just say this happened under Biden's watch, it wouldn't happen under me (and didn't when he was president), and he would fix it in an afternoon because he's a mega deal maker.

well ok...maybe...but I'm not talking about people switching to Trump because of wars or economy (but some will), but just not voting. Maybe I am being over pessimistic and surely Biden will win..but I am not alone in that pessimism...because it isn't fantasyland but could actually happen.

She hasn't tweeted anything for a few days.

Police commissioner person on TV kind of indicating that bloke who did it was known to them and not linked to terrorism.

I like Rayner...I hope she gets off and stuffs it up the Mail's arse...but maybe would have been better if she'd been more honest and upfront from the start....say honest mistake, she'll pay any money she might owe after HMRC looks at it etc.

he/she wouldn't have got there in the first place...and even so if he/she was he/she definitely wouldn't...johnson got away with loads because boris is boris...

yeah, I shouldn't jump to conclusions.

They are not at odds though, but I guess there is potential for it seeing as Rayner's main policy seems to be the workers deal thing...but Reeves has been pushing this too. She seems to have a good relationship with Starmer after a flakey start. I would say she's more like Prescott, but with more clout.

So I guess this attack in Australia is probably a terrorist attack...we're probably going to see more of these with all the sh*t going on in the middle east.

Well that is a choice for governments...they control the purse strings and decide how much tax or spending. It say tax revenue back then is as good as it is going to get is ridiculous when Hunt is cutting taxes every budget. And Rayner did not knowingly practice tax avoidance. She is innocent. If found otherwise I will resign from this forum and eat my computer.

GMP could quite easily say there is no need for further investigation as they are happy with Rayner's reasoning, then The Mail will lose their sh*t and pin blame on Burnham's police force.

..plus Blair's kids went to private schools so there is that.

True..but Blair was spouting education education education because it needed more funds, which it got...but problems aren't fixed overnight...and there is the extra issue of black kids in London and the constant difficulties they face.

An underfunded and badly run state is a problem...same as a badly run private sector...see water companies, train companies etc etc

not really. Rayner is against it now because the housing stock does not get replaced, it is a failed policy which yes some people like her benefited from at the time but now we are paying the price. With Abbott, I have no idea what her views on private education, but she probably would like the state school system to support black kids better in state school so that their life chances were as good as white kids...and so that wealthier black people didn't feel like they need to send their kids to private schools.

Russia are definitely winning in Ukraine. Could be all over this year.

Different things. Benefitting from a thing but also wanting to replace that thing with something fairer is ok in my books. Especially for people like Rayner and Abbott.

apparently it's all a waste of time anyway...just a big propaganda get Rayner before the locals...

kin'ell man we going to go back and go through everything about every single politician to find anything that could be perceived as dodgy? Good job I never went into politics.

how is it dodgy buying her council house?

man, maybe it isn't so simple as her being dodgy. So much classism, misogyny and snobbery with this. Maybe she bought a council house for her and her family, and then met someone and lived some or even most of the time with him, but didn't understand some of the tax rules like most of us? Maybe she doesn't want to go public with everything to protect her family. LONG LIVE ANGELA! f**k THE SCUM!

Trouble is...Greater Manchester Police are a bunch of tossers so a bit worried...

Rayner for president.

Angela says to Tories.."COME ON THEN YOU f**kING SCUM!"

not sure a war between Israel and Iran would help Biden very much either.
