Oh Rachel....

[Sephiroth]

You would think by now people would be more media savvy

but no “it’s lead story on bbc!” Like that means anything in 2025

in what sane world would a teams be entitled to 36k for a petty oversight like this.  Absolute binfire of a reaction

Pop her in jail for a few weeks education! you couldn't make it up! 😂hypocritical Labour are a laughing stock the world over!

Well thanks for enriching the conversation.  Would you chuck Fah - rage in too for his tax avoidance on his property?

Hardly a non-story @malumbu still one of the lead stories on the BBC.....you clearly don't understand when to serve humble pie! 😉

I expect it was lead story on Jeremy Vine too.  Doesn't make it a story, just a bit more of BBC tabloid style sensationalism.  There are numerous real news stories in the UK and across the world.  And now, apt for Halloween, you have summoned up the ghost of Louisa.

So for the third time, will you now eat humble pie?

I don't support Farage but let's clear any misunderstanding ; tax avoidance is not a crime whilst tax evasion is.

Why on earth would I need to eat humble pie, I really can't fathom what your point is?

Oh Rockets ...

Looks like Rachael is getting close to the toaster again! The media is out to  get her after they got duped.

[Jenijenjen]

Well, they would wouldn't they.

Of course Kemi, members of the shadow cabinet and other political leaders in opposition are stirring it. 

The Times quotes ministers accusing Rachel of misleading them but are not named and who knows, if they're real, what their agenda is.

The OBR is supporting her

Rage bait is the word of the year and the right wing press have played their part in that.

[HeadNun]

Wasn't it the OBR who leaked that they'd told her the public finances weren't in such dire straits? 

It's all very weird, was she just afraid of being upfront with the public?
