If as expected Bridget Philippson takes over when Rayner is sacked then the remaining Corbynista/Momentum types will lose their sh1t.

Will be interesting to see if they have the self control to wait until after the election before tearing each other apart.

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

Rayner has done a lot wrong but she will get away with it.
The media are generally on her side otherwise stuff would have been dug up by the hour and it hasn't.
I doubt a single police person is even investigating.
As soon as she said she would resign I knew she was safe.
She will be the next Labour Prime Minister once she gets rid of one knee.

I really should catch up but broadly speaking is the crux of the matter that she benefitted from buying a council property at a low price, used it as a main residence until some way down the line she formed a relationship with someone, moved in with him, eventually got married & some time in between sold the ex council property avoiding paying CGT by saying that it was still her main residency -

Thanks Badger - it does feel a bit like the media smell blood in the water & when that happens they rarely let it drop until they have an outcome.

No one in politics has any standards but the amount she is alleged to have not a paid (reported at around £3500,) is so low that it would probably cost HMRC more y to investigate and sort out payment etc, so where would we be then moaning about a scandalous waste of public money.

It is a fraction say of the legal costs the govt paid to see a Tory minister try to prosecute a university student for wearing a headscarf.

It's all deflection tactics and smoke and mirror like most of politics these days

I thought that was the minimum qualification for the Labour shadow cabinet.
