Crikey! This Doesn't Look Good For The Housing Secretary

[David Peckham]

Can Rayner survive this?

 

"Angela Rayner admits underpaying stamp duty on £800,000 seaside flat | Angela Rayner | The Guardian" https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/sep/03/angela-rayner-admits-underpaying-stamp-duty-on-800000-seaside-flat

Yes

Does it surprise you, not in the least. 

Starmer won't do anything, he's scared of Rayner and he's got no balls, 

[David Peckham]

Her odds have come in from twelves to 5-1 to be the next Cabinet member to leave. 

Still worth a little punt, I reckon.

Complex property arrangements, the investigation will show whether her solicitor cocked it up or whether she misled.

She's one of the more I interesting politicians and the right wing media will be looking out for anything and everything.

Explains why she went to the Guardian.

Same odds given for Rayner being next leader of Labour Party.

I'd change your bookies if you're only getting 5s. She's out to 7s at most places.

She's shortened to 2-1 to be next out of the Cabinet now, that's a hell of a shift in a morning. I'm glad I had a tenner at 5-1. I reckon she'll be evens or odds on by lunchtime tomorrow.

Reeves is still favourite to leave next at 11-10.

Let me know if you fancy £50 on whether she's out or next leader.

It's not Starmer call anyway is it? Isn't Rayner elected to her position by the party? He can freeze her out, sure but not sack her

From what I've read, her problems appear to be on the "oh FFS this is too complicated" rather than genuinely venal money-grabbing, and I liked Ed Davey's words this evening

Funny you are talking about gambling.  Blair's liberalisation of the laws has led to so much hurt.  Yes I digress, ☺️
