Reacting be deported to britain. Reacting to the big stories of the day, Michael Crick linda jubilee and yes, a member of the house of lords that has some common sense. Lord kulveer, ranger. Plus the most important part of the show your views. They come straight to my laptop. Gbnews. Com forward slash your say. This show has a golden rule. We dont do boring. Not on my watch. I just wont have it a big two hours to come. Dont miss a second of the action. And we start with my big opinion. Like a stubborn case of chlamydia , the Angela Rayner chlamydia, the Angela Rayner story just wont go away. And story just wont go away. And im itching to tell you more in what feels like day 377 of this political drama, i fear that well still be talking about this in decades to come. Well still be speculating long after the conclusion of world war iii. It will still be a hot topic after the nuclear apocalypse, and when the aliens finally land on planet earth, even they will be wondering whether Angela Rayner lived on vicarage road or launders road in 2015. Now, many people say that the sum involved Capital Gains tax of just over £1,000 is trivial. They are right. Many people say there are right. Many people say there are bigger problems facing the country. The cost of living bloated and inefficient Public Services , sky high rents, energy services, sky high rents, energy bills, debt, crime they are right. Many say it is a political witch hunt against a prominent left wing politician, a working class woman who has worked hard herself and made something of her life. Well, something of her life. Well, maybe they are right. So why does this matter . Why wont the story go away . Because of the story go away . Because of the impression, rightly or wrongly, that the woman who would be our next deputy Prime Minister is hiding something and not being straight with the public. And this is surely a qualification thats required for high office. Rayner herself has been enthusiastic in her hounding down of public figures like bofis down of public figures like Boris Johnson. She said he couldnt possibly remain Prime Minister whilst under investigation. The story wont go away because Angela Rayner wont kill it, so how could she kill it . Well, she just has to pubush kill it . Well, she just has to publish the legal advice that she was given, which labour say confirms she did nothing wrong. But she wont publish. Why . If it exonerates her, why not . And her boss, sir keir starmer hasnt seen this legal advice. Now hes a top lawyer and the leader of the opposition. He says he doesnt want to see the advice, he doesnt need to see it. He hasnt seen it. Perhaps keir starmer is not a big reader. Im more than happy for Angela Rayner to send me that legal advice, and maybe i can sit down, perhaps at bedtime , sit down, perhaps at bedtime, and the legal advice to sir and read the legal advice to sir keir starmer over a cup of cocoa. Do you see the problem . Well, the mail on sunday definitely do, because they have not let this story go in recent weeks , theyve reported weeks, theyve reported a testimony from a former neighbour called sylvia hampson, who will swear on the bible that rayner lived at one address, not the other. The paper have trawled through social media posts and reported that rayners former top adviser has contradicted his former bosss account. And today the mail on sunday. Like a dog with a bone and more xl bully than chihuahua, reports that the aforementioned ex neighbour sylvia hampson, who has previously called the labour deputy leader an effing liar about this, has confirmed that she was a legal witness to the sale of rayners home. The mail on sunday report that rayner asked mrs. Hampson to sign the document, unearthed by the paper for what she claimed was her principal property, even though her neighbour lived a mile away next door to the labour number. Twos then husband , where she twos then husband, where she says she wasnt living confused. You should be now, the Police Investigation is ongoing and we must have due process. Rayner has said she will step down if a crime has been committed. Some of the accusations are hearsay and they may be politically motivated. Many prominent tories have gone up to far worse in the past. Angela rayner has always protested her innocence, explaining that she has legal advice exonerating her. And as far as anyone is concerned, she has acted properly and has no case to answer. Angela rayner could well be as innocent as a night out with mary berry, but until this normally very up front politician is up front. About the story , the whole about the story, the whole story, its not going to go away. Yes, folks, there are more Unanswered Questions than wayne rooney on mastermind, which is why this is an unwelcome distraction for Angela Rayner and her boss sir keir starmer, who has unequivocally backed his deputy, Angela Rayner, could so easily kill this story. But she wont. Why . Any alleged wrongdoing is minor, but thats not the point. This is about being straight, its about honesty. Its about the truth. We need to know which property really was Angela Rayners home sweet home. But all weve been given is sweet. Far. Your reaction . Gb news com forward slash your say. But first, my top pundits this evening we have journalist and author Michael Crick, no less, a member of the house of lords, former adviser to Boris Johnson, lord kulveer, ranger and a very old friend of mine, journalist and Communications Adviser, the one and the only linda jubilee. Can i tell you its taking me longer and longer to get across that studio. Michael crick im starting to show my age. Id call it metal fatigue. Not like call it metal fatigue. Not like you. Youre like a brand new boeing. Michael, your reaction to this story . It wont go away. And reason. And for good reason. It wont go away, the things Angela Rayner is accused of are relatively trivial. If shed had any sense, she would have sent a check to the hmrc for £3,000 or something, and that probably would have killed it, you know, people, the electoral register thing. I mean, i did a story thing. I mean, i did a story about john major years ago doing worse than that. I did a story about paul nuttall, the ukip leader, worse that. Leader, doing worse than that. But shows the but what it shows is the inadequacies of both rayner and starmer. And when starmer says it would be inappropriate to look at the legal advice. What complete rubbish. Find me a decent lawyer in the kingdom who agrees with that. Why is it inappropriate if i was the boss of a of a company and one of my Senior Executives had got into trouble like this and said they had legal advice, the first thing id say is, well, bring me the advice, and it makes the legal advice, and it makes everybody that legal everybody think that the legal advice than 100 advice is less than 100 supportive. Important supportive. Its also important for three other reasons, and im sorry if im stealing all my colleagues points. First, enjoy the spotlight. First, enjoy the spotlight. First, enjoy the spotlight. First, starmer Michael Crick tonight for first time, one of starmers selling points is that here we have a man of integrity. Former dpp , his chief of staff, former dpp, his chief of staff, former cabinet ethics adviser. Former cabinet ethics adviser. And yet they cannot handle this story properly. Second housing major issue for a party like laboun major issue for a party like labour, a party that has struggled over the years to decide what it thinks about the right to buy council houses. And third, one of the few ways in which labour planned to make money for the treasury. Although im pretty sceptical about it, is by cracking down further on tax tax evasion. Tax avoidance and tax evasion. So this story is going to come up again and again and again until they sort out. Until they sort it out. Shes , i think, foolish. I shes, i think, foolish. I think its a mistake how labour are handling this because as you say, indiscretion is going say, any indiscretion is going to she said shell to be minor. She said shell stand down if shes done anything thats anything criminal. Thats unlikely the case. Is this unlikely to be the case. Is this partly a political witch hunt, though . Woman being though . Is this woman being picked because shes left picked on because shes left wing . Working class. Wing . Shes working class. There an element of, there is an element of, clearly, course , theres an clearly, of course, theres an element of witch hunt about it. And the conservatives have gone big on but, i mean, im not big on it. But, i mean, im not a conservative, but can a conservative, but one can hardly blame given how hardly blame them, given how much went big on much Angela Rayner went big on them over all the things that bofis them over all the things that Boris Johnson did. And thats the problem with our modern politics. Famous and are famous for your guerilla journalism at newsnight channel news. If newsnight and channel 4 news. If you currently at one of you were currently at one of those would you those networks, would you be doorstepping . Angela rayner in regard to this story . Id be doorstepping angela raynen id be doorstepping Angela Rayner, also be rayner, but id also be doorstepping starmer. In doorstepping keir starmer. In fact, be fact, id probably be doorstepping than her. Doorstepping him more than her. Listen, kulveer okay, well, listen, kulveer rangen okay, well, listen, Kulveer Ranger, that ranger, the bottom line is that Angela Rayner has made clear shes wrong. Shes done nothing wrong. Theres investigation theres a Police Investigation on the boss. Keir starmer is happy legal advice is sound, happy the legal advice is sound, she said. You know shell stand down if anything criminal has happened. Nothing to see here. Well, it doesnt feel that way because we know theres an investigation at the investigation going on at the moment there moment and there appear there are questions be are more questions to be answered hear this drip answered and we hear this drip feed information coming feed of information coming through about neighbours and others and the formidable sylvia hampson. Who will become hampson. Yes. Who will become a household name . No doubt, by the time this is no shrinking violet at the age of 83. It sounds that way from her colourful language as but i think the issue as well. But i think the issue also here for Angela Rayner as a politician is before this issue we were hitting peak angela raynen we were hitting peak Angela Rayner. She had really built up a lot of Political Capital to the point where, you know, sir keir starmer has to hold her quite close. She is the equivalent two jags. Prescott equivalent of two jags. Prescott for blair was for him. She for tony blair was for him. She is two houses rayner now but she bnngs is two houses rayner now but she brings out working class credibility to a leader who slightly lacks it. She gives that breadth to the labour party. Needs Angela Rayner party. He needs Angela Rayner politically, so whether he wants to see the legal advice once he wants to see her damaged through this issue, which it could be relatively in scale of relatively minor in scale of things , but its beginning things, but its beginning to fester havent fester because they havent deau fester because they havent dealt with it. Because she was at peak rayner and they thought maybe they could just move on. And thats going to be and i think thats going to be a fundamental learning for this labour get into labour party. If they get into power and theres a big if there there is a general election, we havent. This is the kind of thing you have to deal with. Well, and something that well, and its something that the conservatives havent been deaung the conservatives havent been dealing government dealing with well in government in of years, in the latter couple of years, or jubilee. Or linda jubilee. A sort of classic is this a sort of classic sort witch and also sort of tory witch hunt and also witch the part of the witch hunt on the part of the right wing press .
