1. Hopefully she gets an apology from the nonce that accused her, as well as the former aide and neighbour who were adamant she had gamed the system.

2. Totally shocking news of course.

   Cleared by the police, cleared by the local council, cleared by HMRC.

   Now are we going to, as a nation, reflect on how this absolute non-story managed to capture so much of the media and public opinion for so many weeks despite being ***obvious*** bullshit? Nah.

3. Just a carbon copy of beer gate during Covid by the morally questionable, at death’s door, Conservative party.

   HMRC and the police need to look into each Tory who pushed this and made it a bigger issue than it was, as they’re clearly the ones hiding something.

4. The leftist elite take care of their own, of course she was given a pass. Corruption at its finest

5. Now, in an ideal world there would be insight into why Mr James Daly thought it important to report her to the police, and what evidence he submitted which caused them to start an investigation in the first place. He was suspicious as all hell during interviews at the time, and would avoid discussing why he did what he did at all costs, even becoming quite defensive when questioned about it.

6. The whole thing was clearly a hatchet job. Billions bunged to the mates of rich Conservative MPs in farcical contacts during covid, and they are trying to smear Rayner over this utter non story. Pathetic deflection.

7. Dammit. I had all kinds of snarky comments lined up to use on Reddit.

8. So she has been cleared by the police, the police again, HMRC, the council…

   so I expect tomorrow for the press to have checked with judge Judy, judge Rinder, Tom and Jerry, sooty and the Pudsey bear

9. To be fair I’m disappointed. Seeing her potentially jailed would put her up there with Donald Trump and she really could have played an election blinder. I always thought she was innocent but she could have milked it a little more during election period especially all the knives are out for her.

10. How convenient , lied from day one , just normal government behaviour.

11. I’m glad, she’s a real threat to the Tories and a real inspiration. We could do with more politicians like her

12. That’s embarassing for the nob who kept posting memes against her.

13. Tories have opened a door they really shouldn’t have. They’ve opened the door to politically motivated investigations, and weaponising the police against their political opponents.

14. Are the police and HMRC going to look into the 6 Tories who failed to pay millions in capital gains tax on their 2nd homes. 

    I wonder how much this investigation cost? Beergate cost £200,000. 

15. But surely they are going to slam her in chokey for having three packets of digestives on the same shelf? I mean these things are the thin end of the (Tory) wedge………

16. Good. Now go track down Michelle Mone and put her in prison.

17. Dan Hodges is having a normal one on twitter over this.

18. The first thing I’d do if elected as PM would be to smash the right-wing media to bits.

19. I’m shocked the allegations by a tax dodging tory lord that were serialised in a tax dodging paper turned out to be untrue.

20. They always get away with it……..the Common man though……..
