Another scandal involving this Labour government

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.

Finally, some good news.

Let's hope this ends her reign of terror before the budget.

Time to put an adult in charge of the nation's finances.


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.

EDIT: selective licensing was introduced in Leeds in 2020. And in Southwark covers virtually all the borough including where I once lived.

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.

You don’t get it do you

She is the person in charge of the Country’s finances making decisions that will affect everyone on a daily basis and she doesn’t realise she needs a bit of paper.

Details of the licence are on the Council’s website.

She has proven she is not fit to run the Country’s finances if she doesn’t know basic regulations like this one.

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.

No, it's just not remotely a scandal is it? Woman doesn't realise she needs a bit of paperwork, realises and applies for a bit of a paperwork. It's a non-story and only desperate folk like yourself and the Tories think it's anything more than that.


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.

Having dealt professionally with financial advisers and solicitors the length and breadth of this land for 25 years, the utter incompetence of some in that profession, whether through a lack of knowledge or "accidentally" missing something that means you have to go back to them, thus generating an increase in their fees, is eye spinning, so it would not surprise me one iota if the same applied to estate or letting agents.

I think it's difficult to argue she hasn't broken the law given this on the Southwark Council website.

"You can be prosecuted or fined if you’re a landlord or managing agent for a property that needs a licence and do not get one."

Given the circumstances, I imagine prosecution of Reeves is unlikely but reports suggest that it is not just the nation's finances which have a hole in them because Reeves could be forced to return up to one year's rent (£38,000) to the tenant.

No. She realised the error and got the necessary paperwork. No law broken, nothing to see.

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.

£38,000 I would imagine leaves a big hole in her finances, I wonder how Reeves will fill her hole?

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."
