Labour's day of anarchy: Angela Rayner cleared by taxman - as Streeting prepares to challenge
Labour's leadership anarchy took a dramatic twist today as Angela Rayner declared she had been cleared by the taxman - and suggested Keir Starmer could consider quitting.

Crucially, she insisted that she had not been made to pay any penalty for deliberately or 'carelessly' dodging tax.

I suspect I am not the only one absolutely fed up to the back teeth with these endless teenage girl playground squabbles, while the country quietly goes to the dogs.
"You have sat there too long..." etc etc etc.
Peter - I am too, it's difficult to know what to say without going round in circles. They won't tackle the problems and don't seem to think that's why they are there.
Peter has it spot on.
I think we’ll be hearing a lot of quotes from Cromwell in the next few months, not least,“You are a pack of mercenary wretches, willing, like Esau, to sell your country for a mess of pottage…”
Macheath - let's hope we are seeing a similar political drama unfold, because we need to see a major improvement in the pack of mercenary wretches voters vote into the HoC. Current polling numbers aren't encouraging though.
