Rachel Reeves

[Pompeyjack]

Fair enough. I don’t agree. It would seem madness to me to expect politicians to resign for speeding, littering or other minor administrative offences like the one Reeves seems guilty of. But as you said, all about opinions etc.

Thank you for listening to my opinion, as I also understand your opinion Exil . Debate is a wonderful thing and should never be suppressed or succumb to name calling which unfortunately puts some people off expressing their views. Thank again.

It's all very upper middle class with renting out one's family home because the taxpayer is providing even better free bed and board at no expense (No.11 and the not too shabby Dorneywood).

Supposed to be men and women of the people, many of whom can only dream of owning a home one day.

I'm sure RR has declared the rental income on her HMRC self-assesment...

It's been declared in parliamentary interests.

Might be an idea to house ex force's heroes (of which there are many homeless) in such circumstances

You want to count yourself lucky you’re not getting the abuse I’m getting.

Surely if someone/anyone states a FACT about a certain topic then that is what it is A FACT? Or are we not allowed to state facts anymore?

Hahaha either spitting facts or being silenced.

Thoughts on Pochin comments?

So when would it be OK for her to resign then? as she HAS broken the law?

I don’t think she should resign. It’s a manufactured outrage.

Hi Smurff, keep up , those are my thoughts.

It's all over BBC, would you class them as Right Wing Media?

It was started by the Mail. Which is a very right wing media organisation.

The BBC news team seems currently to be incapable of establishing the truth of any story before breathlessly gossiping about it. Except when it’s about Reform in which case they stay absolutely silent.

 

[Professor]

Just my opinion of course, but I wouldn't class the BBC as right wing media. Could you suggest any left leaning news outlets as I do like to get a balanced view on news stories that are released? I currently only watch/read BBC and read Daily Mail online (I don't click on the pay wall articles). Nor do I follow any social media stuff.

Evidence suggests a far more right wing bias in recent years. Why are Reform given more platform than the Lib Dems who have far more MPs? The governance of the BBC was effectively made pro-tory over the last decade. ITV news is pretty neutral. Channel 4 will have a go at whoever is in charge!
As for left wing. The Mirror is broadly pro-Labour and the Guardian left-leaning but more liberal/green rather than supportive of Labour.
I used to look at the Telegraph, FT and Guardian to get a balance. Telegraph have seriously swung to the hard right but increasingly difficult to access sites with paywalls

Has she broken the law though? The answer is yes. She can blame her husband or the letting agent if she wants, but ultimately the blame lays with the landlord.

Questions raised over Rachel Reeves’s CV and expenses after BBC investigation

The BBC has established the Chancellor left the Bank of England nine months earlier than she states in her LinkedIn profile.

www.bbc.co.uk

Rachel seems a little forgetful to me. Genuine question, would you employ/fire someone who has lied on their CV. She, her hubby and the estate agent of all broken the law. People have been fined for the same offence and someone should be prosecuted. If Rachel believes that she done no wrong (again) then fair enough.

You have no idea whether she lied on her CV given no one has seen it.

The ‘lies’ were on a linked in account.

The vast majority of people break the law many times a year. Probably many times a month.

Would you genuinely rather make people in this country poorer as a result of a chancellor not checking her husband had checked that an agent had done what they said they were doing? Filled in a form?

It’s utter bollox.

Plenty of homeless who have not served in the forces too. There are many empty properties and second and third properties whilst homes are unaffordable for many. In Reeves case at some point she will be back in there as the family home.

I have plenty. Sometimes the mask slips.

She didn't tell the truth when saying she was an "ecomonist". The truth is more like "I am a crap economist, just look at my record running the economy".

And before you respond Lisa, I get it that the Tories are all to blame which I agree with.
