Where is your proof that the taxman has 'cleared' you over £40,000 bill, Angela? trib.al/Jwd8rRt





EXCL: Angela Rayner has been cleared by HMRC of deliberate wrongdoing or carelessness over her tax affairs, paving the way for a potential leadership bid if Keir Starmer’s grip on power unravels. The former DPM has settled £40,000 in unpaid stamp duty, but has not paid any penalty as a result of the investigation. HMRC was also satisfied there was no tax avoidance. Rayner tells me she was “bruised” by whole experience because of intrusion into her disabled son’s personal life, but also because it had appeared as though she was “in it for myself” rather than on the side of ordinary people. Rayner indicated she may run in event of a contest as she would “play my part” and that she understood why Labour MPs were so upset following last week’s election crushing. She said Starmer should “reflect on” stepping aside.






NEW: Tory source responds to David Gauke being nominated for a knighthood by Labour "Kemi absolutely livid Labour nominated Gauke. She wouldn't have him anywhere near any list. Starmer even snuck it through a random honours committee to stop Kemi vetoing it. He stood against the Conservatives, now he's doing Labour's bidding on sentencing and bagged himself a knighthood. Total Starmer stitch up."










🚨 BREAKING: A huge win for our children. The Government has committed to raising the age limit for harmful social media to 16. Thank you to every parent, teacher, health professional, police officer and supporter who spoke out, stood firm and helped make this happen.



Experts are saying it: SUVs damage our roads more than ordinary passenger cars. I’ve asked @TfL to look into the effect of supersized SUVs in London as more of these vehicles take up space on London’s roads. theguardian.com/uk-news/2026/a…
