I think the Tories were right to ask for a Parliamentary investigation, I'm certain Labour would do the same if roles were reversed. I'm not saying Rayner has done anything wrong, I don't know enough about the relevant tax regulations to make that judgement. It looks odd though, so let's have someone independent get to the bottom of it.
I don’t think there is anything to get to the bottom of, it’s legal so there is nothing anyone can do about it, it just lets you know she’s a hypocritical tart when she’s demanding everyone else pays their fare share.
What baffles me is if she’s took her name off, someone else’s name will have had to go on, so why do they not get charged the £30,000 she didn’t have to pay. I’m sure they can’t just acquire a free house and pay nothing.
Yes, but a Parliamentary investigation looks at ethics not criminality. If she is being shifty (but legal) in her financial affairs they would report that.

Miliband forced to pay solar energy companies to switch off Anybody had their £300 off their energy bill yet? According to this article, Ed has had to pay five solar farms £102,500 to stop supplying energy because they are overloading the system. Add to that the money paid to wind farms to switch off, and you might be able to figure out why we have the most expensive energy in Europe. No wonder the likes Dale Vince are always spouting about how great Renewables are when they are millionaires thanks to taxpayer and energy bill payer subsidy. No sign of any return for the £22bn that Ed has wasted on energy storage projects. Would it not have made sense to build the National Grid infrastructure to carry the energy around the country before splashing billions on fantasy projects that will never deliver? Surely that would be a better use of the £22bn that is going onto your energy bills. According to the Renewable Energy Foundation, “The UK has been subsidising renewables since 2002 and has spent over £200bn of bill payers’ cash – equivalent to nearly £8,000 per household. Renewable developers should be able to stand on their own feet by now but they are still begging for more subsidies and special treatment like constraint payments. It’s a key reason why the UK has some of the world’s highest energy prices. It’s time for this to stop before the burden on households and businesses does irreparable harm.” Ed is just about to throw away £28m on carbon capture projects in Derbyshire, money that is coming from the government’s new joke National Wealth Fund. How long until that money has gone and they want a bailout? There are 10 types of people in the World, those who understand binary and those who don't.
The taxpayer subsidises the fossil fuel industry, as the companies drilling for oil and gas can write off the clean up costs of decommissioned sites against their taxes. The irony is that the effective subsidy by the taxpayer means that the oil and gas explorers/producers make a profit which is then taxed at 78% because windfall taxes have been charged (the Energy Profits Levy raised to 38% by Rachel from Accounts).
Son of a Marxist,Ed Miliband was an intern in Tony Benn’s House of Commons office. When he was Labour leader in the General Election of 2015, he got his butt kicked by wet David Cameron who was able to end the coalition with the weak Liberal Democrats. Miliband was replaced by lifetime loser Jeremy Corbyn, who lost in 2017 to Theresa May and got his butt kicked by buffoon Boris Johnson in 2019. Now as Secretary of State for Energy and Net Zero, he promised us “National Energy Security”And at least 300 discount on Energy Bills what happened ed time to admit we will never see it. Hong Kong based Chinese company CK Infrastructure Holdings owns: UK Power Networks (serves 8.3m homes in the South East) Northern Gas Networks (serves 9m homes in the North) Wales and West Gas Networks (serves 2.5m homes in Wales and the South West) Seabank Power (Power station near Bristol) Phoenix Energy (Northern Ireland gas network) UU Solar (70 renewable projects)
After Trump pulled the plug on an offshore wind farm off the US East coast, shares in Danish/Norwegian wind farm operator Ørsted cratered by more than a third. So they needed a bailout and got 6bn Danish kroner (nearly £700m) from Equinor, the oil company half owned by the Norwegian government. They still want more funding. In the meantime it continues to build Hornsea Three wind farm in the North Sea and they did not bid in Allocation Round 7 for any of Miliband’s latest round of subsidies. So we are importing gas from Norway rather than get our own from the North Sea, paying subsidy to Scandinavian countries to build wind farms, buying wind turbines and solar panels from China; and allowing China to profit from our domestic energy infrastructure. Just which nation are we actually relying upon for our Energy Security? It is not this one.
It's amazing how many people have got so wealthy from the climate scam, and threats of sea level rising, they can afford to buy very expensive ocean side property.Ask Angela Rayner
