Homelessness Minister Rushanari Ali quits

It comes after she increased rent on a house she owns within weeks of the previous tenants' contracts ending.

It amazes me that people in these positions can make such stupid decisions. I'm sure everything she did was legal, but did she not stop to think what the optics were on the Homelessness Minister giving tenants notice on a property and then massively inflating the rent?

It was a simple misunderstanding over one key responsibility in her role.

Another one in a growing list of resignations by senior politicians. Starmer was keen to point out how Labour would be clean, but they’ve been far from it. The country is run by people too far out of their depth, hardly surprising though considering what we are paying MP’s. The system needs an overhaul, quality over quantity, and pay them a salary aligned with the level of astuteness required.

Legal, yes, but also a distinct lack of morals.

100%. You have to question her common sense, while her actions were completely legal and above board, as a minister you have to talk the talk and walk the walk and she’s been found out. In reality, for the sake of around 3k after tax she’s been made to look like idiot and has brought the government under the spotlight for the wrong reasons. Common sems3 isn’t that common!

And wouldn’t be legal if we had decent laws to stop landlords absurd profiteering. Property tax in its widest sense, is exactly where this pair of hapless arseholes (Starmer and Reeves) need to look to plug their mythical ‘black hole’.
