“It’s always ‘pay your fair share’ until it’s one of their own with their hand in the till…”
Angela Rayner’s £40k stamp duty dodge should remind us of John McDonnell’s words: “Every penny that is avoided in taxation by the super rich means the NHS doesn’t treat patients as well as it could, our children don’t get the investment in their education they could and it means less safety on our streets.”
Rayner used to cheerlead that line when it was aimed at Tories. Now it lands squarely on her doorstep. Because whether it’s Labour, Tory, or the new breed of red-washed extreme centrists, the story is the same: one rule for them, another for us.
