Nah, she'll be coining it in as a tax advisor when the government are done with her.

Beaver, I love this.... "I don’t know whether Cuba manages to get more ‘social housing’ built than Angela Rayner" Made me smile like a Cheshire cat

Reply to the comment left by Gently distressed at 14/10/2026 - 14:10Sounds about right. Maybe that's where our government are taking inspiration from. At least they have the sunshine there!

Yes, the tax on income rather than profit is rather a stupid policy to adopt or continue with. Technically, we can be taxed when we make a loss. I suspect that there is no other situation where a tax is...

Ah greens, blues, reds, orangutans, whatever. It makes no difference. The public are misled daily by all of them in some way. Regrettably enough people still cling to the notion that, despite the lies being peddled by politicians, honesty, truth...

Well said Beaver. Regrettably there is no party that can be relied upon to actually follow through on what is said during campaigns. When more than one gets away with the lie, then it's natural that others will jump on...

Actually there is a scenario where advance rent is legally allowed. That is when a tenant chooses to inflate their 2nd or subsequent payment to a figure of their choosing, to cover future rent. You cannot ask for it, but...

Reply to the comment left by Beaver at 18:20 The intricacies aren't really what I'm alluding to. I'm generalising about the poor state of British politics & our terrible politicians. The subject matter is unimportant, how they all get on...

Brilliant. Where's the extra benefit funding money coming from?

Every time I go on holiday, I now have to take a laptop, just in case we're slapped with something else that we need to spend days reading. I'm thinking that holidays are a waste of money for landlords. Don't...

Well, the Tories had to say it because Reform did. And Labour had to "slam" it because the Tories said it. It's a playground spat, with an obvious progression. Everything that was said will mean little in a few weeks.

Maybe she realised what a toothless quango Shelter actually is, & elected to jump before her reputation was damaged beyond repair? Hope so. Maybe she's using it an an inroad to politics. In todays political climate, it might be possible....

And where is the help for landlords facing losses, potentially financial ruin due to tenants not paying? There is no help. We're on our own.

Classic government fodder. Make the right noises about seemingly making something easier to navigate when you've just made it a lot harder. It's the caring, sharing, nice open hand of government, open to help, just after it's slapped you with...

It's a cash machine for the government. Pure & simple. Fines are disproportionate to other safety related fines because the government have zero accountability when it comes to setting fines. They don't need to justify their decisions to anyone that...

"The NRLA has also warned that England’s planned landlord database could cost the private rented sector at least £327 million a year, with tenants ultimately footing the bill." And you can just imagine the government ministers saying to each other,...

Unless your rental agreement specifically allows rent deductions for anything, the contract for paying the rent is usually unaffected by any repairs issue. If you're not confident of the rental agreement is wording, I would seek clarification from a professional....

If I were to try to conclude a deal of any type in a country that doesn't share my native tongue, I would do all possible to ensure that their language is respected by employing whatever means portrays me in...

And you're probably right. A good fit for me or the property isn't likely to be a good enough argument in a court case. Which really quite illustrates my point. It's my house, paid for with my money & it's...
