@LucyTCWife We’re at stepdaughter’s wedding in Yorkshire today, absolutely freezing our tits off! You look cozy there though.

Why is it so cold? Cin cin, mofos! This is needed today! 🥂

@RonaldMcD0000 @DanNeidle Some of us find it interesting from a purely technical viewpoint. And it’s undeniably in the public interest.

@DanNeidle My god, you are a boring old fart. Peppering my timeline. A drive-by, by a tax lawyer. Get.Out.More. 👍👌

An update on Angela Rayner. I wrote this morning that our team didn't understand why HMRC accepted Ms Rayner was not "careless", and so escaped penalties. I've since spoken to her lawyer, Graham Aaronson KC. The conversation was surprising.

@BradfemlyWalsh That’s because their shit doesn’t stink, while naturally everyone else’s reeks to high heaven.

Strange isn't it, that the same people who won't shut up about how they vote Green because they're so much more morally pure than everyone else are so keen to excuse the party leader for not having paid his council tax for years.

@raulmurry @DanNeidle As Dan says, failing to take specialist tax advice required in unusual circumstances- especially after being advised to do so by at least one professional acting for her in the relevant transaction- is more “careless” than “honest mistake”. One would’ve thought that obvious.

@DanNeidle @Draft5mann There is a gaping chasm between an "honest mistake" and being "careless" One suggests "reasonable care taken" the other suggests "failed to take reasonable care."

You can absolutely think the stamp duty result for Ms Rayner was unfair and the law is over-complex, but then you need to be in favour of abolishing the second home stamp duty charge This kind of complexity is an *inevitable* result of the policy.

@MardyMariner98 @mypalfootfoot7 She’s triggered you though, hasn’t she?

@mypalfootfoot7 Probably passed the case on to someone else because not only is Connolly a fucking moron, dealing with those that aren’t bright enough to see she’s a fucking cretin is hard work

What the fuck is Lucy Connolly’s probation officer doing btw?

@nw_nicholas @AngelaRayner @JOwusuNepaul Bringing down hypocrites and people whose hubris massively outweighs their competence or usefulness is the “ethical” thing for the media to do, surely?

@AngelaRayner @JOwusuNepaul Are you sure you want to stand as leader? The media will try to destroy you, as with Zack Polanski

I welcome HMRC’s conclusion, which has cleared me of any wrongdoing. I have been exonerated by HMRC of the accusation that I deliberately sought to avoid tax. When purchasing a home of my own with a mortgage, I did not own any other property and had no personal financial interest in the court-instructed trust set up to manage my son’s financial award. I was advised by experts that I should pay stamp duty at the standard rate. I set out to pay the correct amount of tax. I took reasonable care and acted in good faith, based on the expert advice I received, and HMRC has accepted this. I have always sought to act with integrity, and I believe politicians should be held to high standards - that is why I resigned from government and cooperated fully with HMRC.  I wanted to ensure that I paid every penny that I owed, and have done so. I am relieved that my family can now move on - and that I can get on with my job.

@PamelaWhyt19466 @AdamFoxUK @Keir_Starmer @KemiBadenoch Call a spade a spade. Call a turd a turd. We all appreciate that Kemi’s straightforwardness is an alien concept on the benches facing her.

@AdamFoxUK @Keir_Starmer @KemiBadenoch She gets away with talking to the prime minister like shit and nobody says anything especially him sat in the chair being useless

Contrast between @Keir_Starmer and @KemiBadenoch couldn’t be clearer this afternoon in Parliament. The Prime Minister is a decent man doing his best for the country. Unfortunately the Leader of he Opposition is just rude and does our democracy a disservice.

@mrripley18 @LucyTCWife Yes, you vile piece of shit. You threatened to doxx me with a false claim that I’m a paedophile? Fuck off and die, hopefully in extended pain.

@LucyTCWife It’s going to be better than yours.

I will say it loud and proud, for those at the back of the room. When Keir Starmer was head of the CPS he was embroiled in the rape gang scandal. He was part of the team, no, headed up a team that intentionally turned a blind eye to children being groomed and raped. That is a fact. He was also responsible for trying to prosecute one of the victims. Because better that than be seen as racist hey? Just ask @MaggieOliverUK So yes, the Prime minister and everyone else involved in this scandalous cover up enabled child rapists and pedophiles. So screen shot all you like. Make as many reports to the police and probation as you like. I would rather go back to prison than defend anyone that enabled child grooming and rape. He was also in charge of the team that refused to prosecute the Drs for murdering my son. This isn’t my first rodeo with the CPS and our infamous human rights lawyer. Have a fabulous day 😘

@DavidLammy “You’re”. My autocorrect must’ve gone to Lammy school.

@DavidLammy Just like the impartial, diligent lawyer yore clearly NOT, a nice piece of prejudging there.

This stinks. Farage likes to pretend he's a 'man of the people’ … but he and Reform are not on your side.

@mrripley18 @LucyTCWife Sorry, if you’re looking for a fellow kiddy fiddler to compare notes with you’re knocking on the wrong door.

@Draft5mann @LucyTCWife Are you a paedophile?

We really need to stop weaponising words. That’s it, that’s the Tweet!

@Joris_Bohnson__ @nw_nicholas Two tier ethics.

@nw_nicholas So you’re only “mr ethical” when it’s Farage 🤣

This man knows how many times Zack Polanski does his laundry

@Heccles94 I would guess he’s the only one with aspirations (if misguided) to public office. Probably quite untypical for a houseboat dweller. And someone with those aspirations should and must be scrupulous on any regulatory issues. So not a top bloke, then.

NEW: Zack Polanski (along with every other resident of the Marina) have suddenly been informed they should have been paying council tax. Zack is the only one to have already apologised and repaid it. Top bloke!

@thelefttake @RightToBeMad Reckless at best.

@RightToBeMad If it was a deliberate act then sure, doesn’t seem like it was though.

Guys, nobody cares that Zack Polanski didn’t pay council tax on a boat he lived on from time to time. Nobody even knows you’re meant to pay council tax on a boat. Get a grip.

@Heccles94 Harry compares apples and pears every day.

The media is pointing at Zack Polanski dropping a fag butt whilst Tice and Farage get away with fly tipping every single day.

@Heccles94 I think you’ll find the word is “flout”. Flaunting is what Greenbeebies do with their stupidity.

Man apologises if he gets something wrong, and this is a headline. That’s because the likes of Farage never apologise and continue to intentionally minimise their tax and flaunt electoral law.

@Heccles94 Reckless non-payment - at best - is only a fraction of a step away from outright evasion Harry. Not comparable with lawful tax planning.

Zack has never shown any reason to believe he would intentionally underpay tax. In fact he apologised and said he would happily pay anything he has under paid. Tice and Farage etc have repeatedly had offshore accounts and tax minimisation schemes. The media wants you to think they are the same. They are not.

@DanNeidle I’m reminded of the passage in Bradbury’s “History Man” about the off licence salesman with a smiley badge but grumpy face. So many of the “caring” left seem to wear a permanent embittered snarl.

The sweeter the profile, the nastier the posts:
