 | Oh dear not you as well Rachel on 09:04 - Oct 30 by DanTheMan |   I can understand people being annoyed at the Rayner one but this story feels like such a non-issue. It's not like any harm has really been done.        And I say this as someone who doesn't even like Reeves that much.  |  
 
  Quite. She’s awful, but I’d rather someone properly challenges her on her economic record. That would involve knowing something though, so I won’t hold my breath.  |   |

  It's a minor error. But I can't help thinking that had this been Farage or a Tory, then some of the "nothing to see here" brigade would have been all over this like a rash.  |   |

  That's interesting. It suggests she knows about selective licensing, so you might think it is something she would have investigated in Southwark.         https://www.southwark.gov.uk/housing/private-tenants-and-landlords/private-rente         EDIT: selective licensing was introduced in Leeds in 2020. And in Southwark covers virtually all the borough including where I once lived.  [Post edited 30 Oct 11:18]

 | Oh dear not you as well Rachel on 08:43 - Oct 30 by Pendejo |   Not read into it deeply, but from skimming this what I think I picked up...        1. Rented home out when moved into #11    1.1. so didn't leave her property empty at a time of housing shortage         2. Let via an Estate Agents, who are the property professionals         3. Not all local authorities have this type of licence        Two tier media attention;    Boris slipping his security to attend a KGB Bunga Bunga party, forgotten as he slimed seemlessly from foreign secretary to prime minister     Jenrick helped a party contributor avoid £x,000s    Hunt and his 7 properties     Boris putting son of KGB officer in HoL    Farage & the case of the mysterious house in Clacton        But the property professionals not doing their job and it's "the season of the witch" hunt  |  
 
  point of order:  Jenrick helped a party donor avoid millions not thousands in tax,  in the region of £40 million.  |   |

  Your hero Farage gave his girlfriend the money to buy them a house near Clacton so that he could avoid stamp duty. He uses various other (legal but not really moral) mechanisms to avoid paying tax. Some patriot, doesn't even want to pay his fair share to support the country he claims to love. Of course, you don't care about that though because you see him as on your side, when really he's on his own side and the side of his wealthy foreign paymasters.  |   |

  Except, no they are not.        The 'they are all the same' excuse is a very handy get out of jail free card  for those who are genuinely dodgy though.  |   |

  Priti Patel has the front to say that Reeves should be prosecuted for 'breaking the law'.        I assume she had a blindfold on during her time in Government...  |   |   |   |

  I see Badenoch has 'cleverly' tweaked it to "IF she's broken the law". Well, Reeves hasn't broken the law, and Badenoch knows this. But the seed of doubt has been sown for the gullible masses.        I hate politics in this country.  |   |

  A retrospective licence (which I don't think she has yet obtained) does not mean that there has not been a breach of the rules (or law).        Indeed, Lewis Goodall on LBC said that the fact that she has been cleared by the PM does not mean that Southwark will not take action. Indeed, it might be in their interest to take some sort of action in such a high profile case, if only to set an example.  [Post edited 30 Oct 14:21]

  Indeed. Ignorance of the law is not an excuse. Whether it'd be her or the letting agent that gets prosecuted is a different matter. It'll be a civil case so it's not like anyone is going to end up with a criminal record but Southwark would be well within their rights to pursue this.  |   |

  According to this from the link, criminal prosecution is possible (although clearly unlikely in this case).        "If you rent out your property without a licence, the council can issue a civil penalty of £30,000, or prosecution. At worst, penalties could include an unlimited fine, court costs and a criminal record – creating a history that makes it hard to obtain a licence in future."         https://garrettwhitelock.co.uk/landlords/southwark-selective-licensing/  [Post edited 30 Oct 14:26]
