.... followed by boris johnsons intervention to prevent further legal action against jenrick for corruption in office.
but what's that got to do with Tice's admission of cheating on his taxes and sending the money to the reform party instead? |

"They are all at it."
At what?
You personally know all 650 MPs and you know they are all corrupt?
This sort of attitude does our country down!
I can see how you get there, but it simply isn't true!
Stop this attitude it's what Farage et al feed off.
Who would want to be an MP but the shady and corrupt if you keep driving good people from that space by painting them all the same |

I don't think that's entirely fair though it is a popular opinion. A problem that enhances that opinion is all the scandals from the Tory years and then labour get voted in who promised it was an end to such things, only to do the same. Now Reform, who are widely tipped to do very well at the next GE ( not my opinion as I don't think they will get close) are taking advantage already. I can see why people say they are all the same but cling to the thought that some are genuine MP's from all parties following the rules |

Think I've got it.
If 650 MPs were on the make the country would be in a worse state and it wouldn't be news when one of them did actually is on the make, it's news for a reason because it's new! |

Even if it were much smaller amounts of money, and they have broken rules then they should pay it back regardless of who they are or from what party |

Tice didn't have the mechanisms Starmer had to introduce a personalised tax law in his own name to limit his exposure to tax.... Tice is a bit of a nobber, but it's a bit of a to do about nothing. |

Rayner's underpayment wasn't an accident. She told the tax man that the new property was her main home, but told the local council and parliament that a different place was her main home. Either she lied to the tax man, or she lied to parliament.
Tice's underpayment isn't quite so clear cut. Indeed it's not clear that he has made an underpayment at all. |

Not true!
She didn't believe her home that she bought was a second home because the home that she'd gave to her disabled child was in trust |

Actually she DID get advice from a tax specialist… and it was the wrong advice, even the parliamentry ethics committee (which she referred herself to ) concluded that actually she did not wrong on purpose! It’s also the finding that HMRC found which is why they allowed her to pay it without penalty
Tices case is actually more cut… underpaying that amount of corporation tax isn’t just an “accident”… I mean.. he could refer himself to the same ethics committee as rayner did … but he hasn’t  |

From the reports I've read, Tice appears to have underpaid Corporation Tax, and as a result overpaid Income Tax. From what I've seen it's possible he has actually paid more tax than was strictly necessary.
Not that paying extra tax is an excuse for getting the accounts wrong. |

She believed, that the home she'd gave away to her disabled child and the grace and favour home weren't permanent homes. |

The query should be with the accountants who acted on his behalf. He is hardly going to be completing his own tax returns. He has an extremely successfull career and employed numerous people in a least twelve countries. He had at least 130 different companies. We should be admiring his success and be extremely glad of everything that he has done |

I'll ask again. If she believed that her child's house and her London house weren't her permanent homes, why did she tell Brighton Council and parliament that her child's house was her permanent home, and that the Brighton house was a second property? |

I cannot remember the source, but I read years ago that someone had calculated Trumps inheritance, and his business successes / failures, and concluded that had the inheritance been put in an index tracker it would have made more than Donald Trump has with it. |

Thankful she’s no longer housing minister.
Complete retard; new housing delivery is at a 12 year low. 300,000 new social housing she said, after right to buy and demolitions new social housing delivery is negative. 1.5 million new homes she said, about 50% shortfall after nearly two years.
Plus all the landlord bashing while she holidays in donor Allis $18M second home in New York. |

Jury’s out for me whether he did anything wrong. He has apparently paid the £91k shortfall. And his net worth is £40M so he’s been paying tax
What is beyond annoying; Zia Yusuf, Reform UK's home affairs spokesperson, described the issue as "a minor administrative error". |

Rayner paid the 40k shortfall… so if paying what was owed is your standard then what is the between Rayner and tice?
Rayner even referred herself to the parliament ethics committee… and even they found she had not done anything intentionally wrong! |

Started out about Tice and then the deflection, typical far right crap. Tice is defrauding the electorate. His job is a 7 day a week one. He spends part of his week in Dubai and is still claiming his salary in full and not respecting his constituents by actually spending time with them. He cheated during Covid off to the Isle of white for a shag party. And he does avoid tax, yet he wants to be in a position to spend those of us who pay fair taxes money. I think he is the least rancid antisemitic or bigoted in Reform. But that says little as he still bangs on about boats he and his kind caused by robbing us of EU membership with utter lies. |

I had a search for her paying the alleged owed money but can't find anything saying she has paid it. Several articles from November last year saying she has not paid yet. Most recent article I found was the independent from late last month saying she is challenging the claim and will pay anything the claim decides she owes. To me this implies she has not paid. With the situation in Iran and the Mandelson situation taking up much if the news, perhaps it's been missed. Who has reported that the money has been paid? |

It's easy to deny it, because there is no connection. Those people that claim there is are usually conflating two separate definitions of "small boat problem" to make their logic work. |

there is a direct connection. your resort to the usual far right gambit of following wild unsubstansiated assertions of denial with personal attacks is just more zealous grist for the far right mill and is proven to be utterly devoid of logic. |

If you are stupid that is. Anyone who can read knows better. International laws says they can carry on travelling, EU rules said they should stop in the EU country they enter via or be returned to that country. Why France used to have so many camps. But you keep dreaming of the lies you was sold. It's not like their is an EU agreement you can Google and see. Just bury head in sand brexit is the cause of loads of issues. |

"If you are stupid that is. Anyone who can read knows better. International laws says they can carry on travelling"
Anyone who can read *well* knows that it doesn't say that. International law says that refugees can apply in any country they find themselves in. It does not give any refugee the right to travel from one country to another.
"EU rules said they should stop in the EU country they enter via or be returned to that country."
No it didn't. The Dublin Regulations says that any immigrant should be dealt with by the country in which they made their first application. If they subsequently applied in other countries, they could be returned to wherever they made their first application. The regulations make no mention of the country by which the refugee entered, mostly because that would be impossible to determine.
"It's not like their is an EU agreement you can Google and see."
Yes there is. Look up the Dublin Regulations and see what they say. |

English voting Tory caused that, ret of us don't mandate them since 1955. Camerons reduction in the size of the economy due to his botched austerity nonsense. But £580billion missing from the economy each Yr due to brexit is no help to funding our needs

"But £580billion missing from the economy each Yr due to brexit is no help to funding our needs"
The UK's GDP is about $4.26tn, ahead of France at $3.59tn but behind Germany at $5.45tn.
You're saying that without Brexit we'd be £580bn (or $780bn) better off each year. That would mean the economy growing at about 18% every year, giving us a GDP today of $8.94, well ahead of the rest of Europe and fast catching up on China.
Does that seem like a realistic scenario to you? |

There's no law that says normal people have to declare gifts, or payments for services, or even flat-out bribes. Since he wasn't an MP, he didn't have to declare it.
And I'd be willing to bet that it wasn't actually him that received it, but rather a company that he's associated with. |

Well according to Farage himself it was a personal gift…..
and the reason we are likely finding it out now if that even though he was not an mp at the time of the “personal gift”.. if you do become an mp then you have to declare it if it’s over £500 within the first 12 months of you becoming an mp if the gift was within 12 months of you being elected … you have to declare it in the members book of interests
He is basically trying to get in front of the story because it was likely “someone” found out and it was going to come out and it was reported .. and his is now going to be investigated by the house of commons “ethics and standards” committee for failing to comply….. |

Excellent! So we just need to wait for the committee report, and then we can all criticise him with facts rather than suppositions. |

"The query should be with the accountants who acted on his behalf. He is hardly going to be completing his own tax returns. He has an extremely successfull career and employed numerous people in a least twelve countries. He had at least 130 different companies. We should be admiring his success and be extremely glad of everything that he has done
Jury’s out for me whether he did anything wrong. He has apparently paid the £91k shortfall. And his net worth is £40M so he’s been paying tax
What is beyond annoying; Zia Yusuf, Reform UK's home affairs spokesperson, described the issue as "a minor administrative error".
Rayner paid the 40k shortfall… so if paying what was owed is your standard then what is the between Rayner and tice?
Rayner even referred herself to the parliament ethics committee… and even they found she had not done anything intentionally wrong!
I had a search for her paying the alleged owed money but can't find anything saying she has paid it. Several articles from November last year saying she has not paid yet. Most recent article I found was the independent from late last month saying she is challenging the claim and will pay anything the claim decides she owes. To me this implies she has not paid. With the situation in Iran and the Mandelson situation taking up much if the news, perhaps it's been missed. Who has reported that the money has been paid?
She is "close to resolving it".

Unfortunately, some posters write optimistic stuff on their positions, then do a bit of a runner. Has happened to us when we challenged them the past few times. Hopefully you'll either get a source or an acknowledgement of bad info."
Looks like he is not going to provide the Angela Rayner evidence anytime soon and has diverted to another person instead. |

The evidence is a slam dunk as he has admitted the gift was within the 12 months prior… the committee is there to adjudicate if there will be any penalty for the breach (problem for Nigel is that he has previous for not declaring interests in the members book in a timely manner before.. and got a reprimand) |

I don't mean to be rude, but you do have a habit of coming in with definitive announcements, that later turn out to be somewhat short of the truth. If you don't mind, I'll save my criticism of Farage until after the committee has released its findings. |

Well you can read the guardian, or the independent, or the bbc, or channel 4 news, or the London evening standard, or LBC radio.. and that’s just on page one of the google search
Or the actual interview he gave to the telegraph!.. which would you like?

But for your own delectation… here is the guardian version of the story
Farage was given £5m by the crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne shortly before announcing he would stand in the 2024 British general election, the Guardian can reveal.
Farage had stated he did not intend to stand as a prospective MP but U-turned in June 2024, within weeks of receiving the personal gift from the Thailand-based businessman.
In July 2024, Farage became an MP for the first time and has since stated he now expects to become prime minister at the next general election.
After being approached by the Guardian about the gift, neither he nor Harborne provided a comment – instead lawyers for Reform UK and Harborne pleaded for more time. Farage then confirmed to the Daily Telegraph that he had received the gift, saying it was to pay for his personal security.
Until that point neither Harborne nor Farage had spoken publicly about the £5m gift. At the time of the gift, Farage had not announced that he would run for the seat of Clacton.
MPs said that Farage should have declared it. Parliamentary rules state that any benefits should be declared for the 12 months before taking up office as an MP, depending on whether it was for political or personal purposes. The rules state: “If there is any doubt, the benefit should be registered.”
Asked on Monday by the Guardian about the gift, Reform sent a legal letter asking for more time to respond. The deadline was extended until Wednesday morning. The Telegraph then published its interview with Farage before the deadline.
The money underlines what a pivotal figure Harborne has become in British politics – bankrolling Farage personally and the parties he has led over the past seven years.
Last year, he donated £9m to Reform UK – the largest ever single donation by a living person to a British political party. |

I’m not disputing facts. I’m saying the conclusion is still an opinion until the findings confirm it.

Farage has "kopped" to a personal gift which, as stated in the Guardian article you quoted, does not need to be declared.
I'll wait for the committee's verdict before jumping to conclusions. |

I think you missed a bit…..

I'm sure Farage has no doubt that the gift was for personal purposes. Whether the committee will agree we'll find out in due course.
Just to be clear here, I'm not defending Farage or saying he's innocent. I'm just saying that you have form for reading biased news sources and interpreting them in a way that suits your pre-conceived ideas.
But since my message is not getting through, I shall leave here and return when the committee's verdict is known. |
