As far as I understand it, the only allegation the GMP should have investigated is that of electoral roll irregularity.
"GMP adds that it has shared information with HMRC and Stockport Council"
Whilst that's jolly decent of them, I imagine those organisations have different criteria for deciding whether offences have been committed that they are responsible for investigating.
The thing that bothers me about all of this, is that Rayner seriously expects people to believe she was living in a house a mile away from her husband AND her kids.
If people truly beleive this, please send them my way because I'm a Nigerian Prince and for a small payment will be able to, in turn, pay millions to them.
Hymie - // If you were to examine the full details of this fiasco – The Greater Manchester Police force should be investigated for wasting police time. //
The police have advised that they were obliged to investigate, although they then said that matters involving VAT were not a matter for them, which seems contradictory.
However, the local council and HMRC have had the police information shared with them.
It may be that those organisations had to wait until the police enquiry was concluded, before opening any enquiries of their own, so the matter may not be closed yet.
The thing that bothers me about this is that at most Rayner would've benefitted by what, £1,500.
And how much did Michelle Mone trouser?
Scott Benton?
Sunak's hildcare firm shares?
Robert Jenrick's "cash for favours"
Nadhim Zahawi!!!
And finally...
Liz Truss killing off the Torie's reputation for sound fiscal management.
But none of that matters. What matter is a police investigation into Rayner in which the police say there's nothing to see.
Desperate.
Can't beleive we're re-hashing this, but here goes...
Johnson had an uneaten birthday cake, not involving booze, with people he worked with everyday.
Starmer and Rayner* had beers and a curry with people they did not work with.
*Starmer originally said Rayner wasn't there, until photographic evidence was produced, and then he said she was there, but he 'forgot'.
Neither should have been investigated - but the fact is what Starmer and Rayner did was worse.
we are going over it again - but it is different ! everyone will have a go at re-writing history. I bet our wise mods win !
My fave on the duty to investigate is Blackburn v MPC - 1964 I think. They dont ( have such a duty and can lawfully filter). Yes decided 50 y ago. and we are still fantasizing that the police must investigate....
