I am only familiar with the Eleanor Laing example, but if they have all done what she did, there is absolutely no case to answer. She had a flat near Westminster which she designated as her main residence (quite reasonably as she no doubt spent most of her time living there given her job was there) and so there was no CGT to pay.I was commenting on the posts up-thread which appear to suggest that certain Tories may have done something similar to what Rayner may or may not have done, but aren't getting anything like the same amount of attention.
One rule for one, one rule for another. If you're a Tory, the press give you an easier time.
This story is a pathetic poorly executed attempt by the Mirror to support Rayner but it doesn't stand up to cursory inspection and the mainstream media have rightly ignored it.
If Rayner had kept her affairs in order, she too wouldn't have had a problem. The fact she didn't suggests to me she should be nowhere near power of any distinction, because she seems incapable of doing basic form filling that the rest of the population seem to be able to cope with.
She is an utter embarrassment to my party.
