Chancellor Rachel Reeves admits breaking housing rules by renting out home.
Our gallant Labour Representative and Top Economist(according to her) has admitted to renting her house in Southwark in London for £3200 /month because she is entitled to a free house next door to No 10 and omitting to get the licence required by Southwark Council.She has apologised and blamed the letting agency.
How sad and how funny.
Our Labour Politicians have a distinct and unhealthy interest in rental property and the concept of Social Housing is fine when it’s them that’s benefiting, but for you or me to need support or help on the housing front,then we are thrown to the wolves of the Private Rental Sector, where it seems our political representatives enjoy a guaranteed second income.
Mrs Reeves for the moment is protected by the old boys network headed by Sir Laurie Magnus who was appointed as an Independent Advisor in 2022,is a Baronet and has a career in investment banking to recommend him as a top Ethical bloke.Please don’t laugh.
Sir Laurie determined the former Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner had broken the Ministerial Code by not paying enough Stamp Duty and has cleared Mrs Reeves , because she admitted her error once the Daily Mail had reported it and did so quickly once she was found out. Perhaps Angela Rayner was not so quick off the mark?
It doesn’t matter, Rachel Reeves has the top job running the economy,but still has time to set up rental agreements for her “spare house”.
Dear Rachel do you know that we have a homeless problem in the UK, that Social Housing is in dire straits, that we need homes for eighteen year olds who are about to come out of the “care sector ” and have nowhere to go.
Did you really need that extra £3200 /month , or could you have done something better with your “spare house”.Seeing as you have a lot of Public subsidised perks and a nice Government salary.Did that even cross your mind? Bet it didn’t cross Sir Laurie or Sir Keir’s mind either.
Please leave a comment if you think Rachel could have done better and if you think the Ethics Committee might be a bit biased.
Thank you for reading…
