We reported in January that an unanticipated effect of the Renters' Rights Act was to create a stamp duty liability for about 150,000 tenants.

The good news is that the Government just announced it will legislate retrospectively to fix this:

Tomorrow is a symbolic day in the House of Lords.

At the end the end of this Parliamentary session, expected next week, hereditary peers will finally all be removed from the Lords thanks to new laws our Labour government have brought in.

Tomorrow the Lords effectively delete their...

I am old enough to remember when that charlatan Farage said leaving the EU would get immigration 'under control'.

Now he says we must all lose our human rights, leave the ECHR, leave the Refugee Convention and deport 1m people to get immigration 'under control'.

And still some people listen to him

If this is KS ethical void issue how would you describe nearly all of Tory’s and Reform nearly all the time? A vast universe of corruption greed and racism maybe? Black hole?

Thank you, I’d missed that too.

Parents, have you heard the great news?

Somehow?! I think I know how.
Which is dwarfed by the theme of two tier accountability protecting the establishment. Compare KS beer/ curry compared to BJs letting bodies pile high / too busy partying column inches/accountability. If Tice v Raynor doesn’t work.

All of those bunged in the lords from Tory’s?

If looks could kill!

Or…. Have a tribunal for unfair dismissal like ordinary folk? This feels like when Farage got angry about his millionaires bank account issue ( boo hoo) and took the head of the top of that bank down.

Anyone else dubious at very clear recollections of feelings surrounding events at a very turbulent time being recalled so well? It took police for civil servants to recall their feelings of whether they were at BJs party-athon. Did they recall gov profiteering thru covid whilst bodies piled high?

👀 Bingo: Reform UK candidate reveals Covid conspiracy beliefs & antisemitism all in one.

Still eagerly awaiting response from Mr Farage to our letter urging him to act…..

Farage urged to act against candidates with racist, misogynistic and homophobic views Exclusive: Despite the pledge to employ the best vetting system in British politics, some Reform UK candidates have been condemned for their ‘grotesque views’ posted online

The true face of Reform, is not Farage, the clubbable braying donkey - it’s the homophobes, racists and misogynists standing as its candidates in the coming local elections.

The pressure Olly Robbins felt , might have another reason? Couldn’t it have a more obvious cause than hiding what was widely known anyway prior to emails selectively released by Trump? Also after 14 years of partying and posturing. A government actually governing, involved bigger workload?

Mandelson- gate is pushing me in the other direction im afraid. It feels like another Tice V Raynor moment where a certain clique protects its own and joins forces to bring down those outside this circle. Green to Labour I mean. Not Reform / Tory’s obvs

I am reading these types of articles ( written by lots of journalists I admire and subscribe to ) to see what I’m missing. I see an ethical void in our politics/ its reporting but this one doesn’t fit. Ties to DTs business partners rather than craftiness maybe better reason to exploit this creep.

Linda pulled out her own teeth.

The direct result of political choices made in Westminster.

Standing room only in parliament today, as we pose the question: can we afford universal access to NHS dentistry?

The message for government from MPs assembled is we can’t afford not to.

Keir Starmer hits out at 'wrong, wrong, wrong' Badenoch in defiant PMQs message Keir Starmer issued a defiant message as he claimed Kemi Badenoch had been wrong on several aspects of the Peter Mandelson vetting controversy.

PM claims allegations levelled at him have been 'put to bed' by civil servant's evidence

Says evidence of former top civil servant Sir Olly Robbins "puts to bed all the allegations levelled at me"

Case and Robbins aren’t in the media either but I think one is well dodgy and the other is after saving his career. The gotcha moments all have opinion elements to them.

It’s not all media that’s very dubious only the main ones/ . Loads of brilliant investigative journalist out there.

Am I imagining Tice v Raynor reporting?

Or nightmarish

And inevitable given the reporting / accountability two tier standards in UK. Very sad situation.
How do we know he’s lying? Based on Simon Case and Olly Robbins recollections / versions? I don’t get why this BJ KS comparison is even possible with knowledge of both their records.

Maybe Keir Starmer should order an inquiry costing millions into this one issue and kick this down the road before lying through his teeth at the inquiry and everyone moves on? Actually no, I remember that’s not available outside of certain circles.

Simply on maintaining USA Ukraine support there was impossible pressure on Starmer decisions made at that time. More than Simon Case and Olly Robbins seem able to mention but must have been aware of.

Could it show the rapid fire dire choices available in a storm of looming disasters? Prisons days from collapse when Sunak dissolved away to count his millions. Trump/ Putin oligarchs set to finish off their Brexit UK economic destruction. I can’t fathom how short memories are.

Seems he wasn’t the only one who misstepped.
