Funnily enough I don't remember reading similar front pages when Jeremy Hunt bought seven luxury seaside apartments from a Conservative donor, in breach of his government's own money laundering rules

Were those the ones he “forgot” or “overlooked” in terms of declaring them?

They like to take a pop at the apparently ‘anti English’ policy on 2nd homes in Wales ofcourse.

Welsh village where English haters revolt over 300% Airbnb tax hikes
On the back of parking ticket machines and signs in Llanberis, Wales, are stickers bearing sinister messages for the tourists, clearly intended to send them packing.

The right wing hypocrisy is off the scale!😡😡😡

Aren’t the Sun and the Mail in favour of people working hard, getting on in life, making a bit of money and investing it in assets for their future? Or is that only for Tory people?
-
It’s only ‘aspirational’ if already wealthy privileged Tories amass more wealth. Working class types grafting, bettering themselves, getting educated & achieving …..not really ‘cricket’!
-
I agree but it does beg a question of how mps earning 90k a year become so wealthy 🤔

Desperate stuff from irrelevant papers that are struggling getting a foothold, dinosaurs, well past their sell by dates.

Inside Nigel Farage's £3m four home luxury property empire bought since Brexit
The self-styled man of the people has amassed a property portfolio worth almost £3million since the 2016 Brexit referendum. Our disclosures come after it was revealed that the Reform leader is earning...

they’re terrified of her, that’s good they should be
-
And it’s her second home. The one in London is for her job.

Or when the clown Johnson was ‘loaned’ £800,000 from an anonymous donor whilst PM…
-
So the right wing press are hypocrites. Not exactly news. Are you comparing Rayner to Hunt as regards to corruption and illegality?
-
The 7 he then, oops! Forgot to declare?
-
Totally agree - barely a word spoken about Hunt, nor all the money Johnson squandered on his properties and exotic lifestyle. MSM need to be help accountable
-
In reality it’s only her second home as one of them comes with the job so offers no security of tenure as many farm workers know all too well.

Anyone who gets rich in politics is dodgy. I agree the Tories are hypocrites. I think it's more important to look at the standards. Politics was always dodgy but a sense of standards has pretty much gone. Same with the media. Speaking of which... 🤔

Viscount Rothermere, owner of the Mail, net worth of £1bn, struggles to get by on an estate consisting of 4,700 acres, 14 farming tenants & 40 residential properties. The Mail used to support Oswald Mosley’s fascist Blackshirts & now supports Nigel Farage’s fascist race warrior Orcs.

Doesn't Robert Jenrick own 3 homes and rent a 4th?
-
Clear collusion between these two so-called rival tabloids to attack Angela Rayner with each claiming "Exclusive". On the same day. Who is orchestrating this?
-
I knows hypocrites, so is Starmer calling himself an human rights lawyer copying Farage over Migrants, wanting to scrap judges and replace them with a panel to deport them quicker, why doesn't he join Farage party
-
Also...£800k for a house?
Chicken feed.
-
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
-
And, by buying 7 in one purchase, it was classed as a business, not residential, purchase - meaning he paid significantly lower stamp duty on each flat than a regular buyer would have paid.
But hey, who cares about facts or comparisons when the press have an outrage handle to crank?
-
And then forgot that he had done so
-
So Labour are "turning the screws" on their own Deputy PM too.
Seems quite egalitarian to me.
-
Hypocracy is the British press's stock in trade. Particularly shit-rags like the Mail, Telegraph and Sun
-
Also one of the properties she “owns” now is a grace and favour flat, so… she doesn’t own it? And there’s no suggestion she wouldn’t pay the 100% council tax increase so there’s no hypocrisy there either. The tabloids just really, really hate her.
-
Ah yes but he’s a Tory and anything is acceptable from them. It’s only Labour MPs that must represent the working class, even those working class that don’t believe social class exists. They must take no holidays ever or have lives of their own - seems fair. Grow up journalists, you stale nobodies
-
The real hypocrisy is the Tories. I thought they were in favour of markets and freedom to spend your money as you wish
-
Oh course not. They will do everything they can to smear her.
-
Starmer will never win again until he deals with the press. And properly deals with them.
-
This is just symptomatic of the concerted MSM campaign to undermine the current government. I didn’t vote for them, don’t support them, but they were democratically elected. Starmer needs to realise he can’t pander to them and needs to kick back starting with Leveson 2.
-
The sooner the UK completely and utterly ignores these shit rags and their odious owners the better for our future.
-
To add. Not taking a dig at you. I like your stuff.
-
True, Adam, but why don't you actually challenge them on this. You are in a better position than me (a relative nonentity) to do it. Or am I being completely & utterly naive
-
Plus, there are 3 bed terraces in Hove that fetch £800k. She ain't buying Mar-a-Lago.
-
Spot on.
