Rayner attempts to deflect attention from Labour donations row with partygate reminder
Angela Rayner has attempted to deflect attention away from Labour’s donations row by telling delegates at the party’s conference to remind voters of partygate.
The Deputy Prime Minister has denied she broke any rules over the donated use of a New York apartment owned by Lord Alli, the Labour peer who has also donated thousands of pounds towards clothes for Sir Keir Starmer.

Tory corruption is far right corruption. Labour corruption is to sleaze what BLM and Just Stop Oil is to rioting.
The trouble is that most ordinary people could imagine having a party in Lockdown, but few could imagine receiving gifts from millionaires - and what that might mean.
Sam - Labour seems to have assumed that the party wasn't included in a rising public distrust of government and their interpretations of their own corruption would be seen in the same light. They seem remarkably slow to pick up on it too - weird people.
DJ - this is a good video on Sue Gray and partygate.

Our deputy PM, dear Angie, seems to have a record with dodgy property, doesn't she?
We've always needed better. And we've almost never got them.
dearieme - yes she does, the lower slopes of the high life seem to have a powerful attraction for her.
Tammly - that's it, worse seems to be the official way forward.
Interesting that her ‘friend’ from the New York jaunt also seems to have indulged in some home-juggling in the 2010s:
A senior aide to Jeremy Corbyn has hit back after allegations by the Sunday Times that he is engaging in electoral fraud by claiming to live in Barking, east London, where he is a councillor, while really living in Brighton with his wife.
‘The Sunday Times alleged that while Tarry says he lives in a flat in Barking, where he was elected as a councillor in May 2014, he actually lives in a £550,000 house in Brighton with his wife. The Brighton address is on their marriage certificate and Land Registry records show that Tarry and his wife, Julia Fozard, jointly own the property, said the Sunday Times.
The newspaper also reported that a trade union official, named Elly Baker, lived at the Barking flat. Tarry’s lawyers said she was his lodger.’

Macheath - good grief, we may as well simplify further and regard all of them as dodgy until they prove otherwise. Not that it would be much of a change in outlook.
It reminds me of that phrase "because they can". Certain people do things because they can, there are no other criteria.
