: How have Labour handled the Angela Rayner story?

John O’Farrell(Author): 'I think this is such a ridiculous non-story... for the BBC to keep spending time on this... because the Mail has pushed & pushed & pushed... it's not a story just because the mail says so..'

HMRC pays debt collectors hundred of pounds to chase people who owe as little as £89, losing hundreds of pounds on each case.

But it has let a £500,000,000 debt from Lord Bamford build up over more than 10 years.

HMRC isn't about collecting money.

The frustrating thing to me about the quote from this article is that the columnist knows, and the Conservatives know, and Labour knows, that Brexit was an awful economic and geopolitical error. This was obvious in my view in 2016 and it’s ten times more obvious now, for the…

Damning response from dentists on the government NHS dentistry recovery plan.

'Too little, too late, not fit for purpose, dishonest, rubbish & a joke.. this recovery plan is not worthy of the title... you cannot build a collapsed wall with a box of poly filler..'

Why the back track?
1. She never really meant it & just wanted to cause trouble for Sunak.
2. She's been made aware of what would happen to the party without Hester's moolah.
3. She needs the support of racists to be leader.
4. She's a blithering idiot.
5. All of the above.

State pension is not a benefit. Despite what politicians and their client journalists tell you.
You've earned this. The lowest pensions in the developed world

The Conservatives are salting the earth and poisoning the wells (well, the rivers at any rate), as they know the next government will not be theirs. They are leaving, as their legacy, a broken country.

PM is real threat, failing to name racism, undermining rule of law with terrible Rwanda Bill, trampling over rights to protest. This didn’t need “urgent address” he could’ve said it in Parliament. Fake theatre from desperate PM of a dying , discredited govt
