Nah, mate.
In fact it pales into insignificance against a bloke obsessing over a Labour politician maybe, perhaps, just possibly avoiding around three grands' worth of tax whilst offering barely a paragraph to criticise a recent Tory chancellor dodging millions...
I have said that breaking the rules is breaking the rules, and his was equally as bad. The value is irrelevant when you break the law, tax evasion is tax evasion. He has of course admitted to his mistake and paid the tax, and a million plus in penalties. Ms Rayner is still protesting her innocence... and not disclosing the fantastic advice she got (which lots of us would love to know..it might help others) but expecting others to disclose theirs...
So in case you struggle with words. The Tory was wrong. He has paid up and admitted his error.
Rayner is pleading innocence but wont show how, but wants others to disclose their advice.
He's leaving politics, probably partly as a result of his tax error. Wonder if she will do the same...?
PS if its only £3k, we can all underpay £3k can we? I handed over nearer £8k on sale of my house which had been my PPR but stopped being when I moved into a different one. I got tax advice to be sure I paid the right amount.... I'd happily have £3k back if its only £3k and not important, could help my daughter with her 3 kids under 8, for which she gets sod all help (despite not working...)
PS you ignored the other one. Imagine it said he was a Tory MP and type what you would type then, go on....!
