“Grenfell United survivors and families condemn Rayner’s ‘unforgivable’ decision to demolish tower”

by Skwawkbox @skwawkbox @UKLabour

“Keir Starmer’s ‘Labour’ government not just maintained but escalated all of the many evils of the blue Tory governments it replaced. Its contempt for those affected by the criminal Grenfell blaze is another example”

Destroying people's home, or allowing them to be destroyed, to build on top of them is all the rage right now.

Conveniently, the flammable cladding - which is still on many UK buildings - allows for excellent development opportunities.

Britain’s Deputy Prime Minister Angela #Rayner was one of many top #UK politicians who were banned from entering #Russia Tuesday, as Moscow continued its tit-for-tat diplomatic feud with London and accused senior Labour figures of “Russophobic” leanings.

Quarter of Tory voters think Angela #Rayner story 'sounds like smear', poll suggests - https://www.theguardian.com/politics/live/2024/apr/18/rwanda-bill-raf-planes-grant-shapps-conservatives-labour-rishi-sunak-uk-politics-latest-updates?page=with:block-662114318f081f41995d3034#block-662114318f081f41995d3034 " amongst the population as a whole 40% of people say the story sounds like a smear. Amongst Labour voters that figure is 56%, and amongst Tory voters that figure is 26%."

Police investigate Labour deputy leader Angela #Rayner

Reminiscent of #beergate - because the Right are banging on about it, it is simpler for the Police to investigate than to keep telling them there is no case here

At the very worst, the tax involved is a few thousand - I wonder how much a thorough investigation of all those MPs with lucrative second incomes would turn up in tax due?

My money is on "there is no case to answer" here - Rayner is no fool
