Blame the Chinese.....

Blaming 1.4b people seems a bit of a scattergun approach.

Little Peter absolutely loves the opportunity to blame a foreigner,

TBF there is a lot of responsibility for this that should be found at their (edit: the Chinese government’s) door, though of course there’s a lot that should be found at No. 10 too (as well as with previous regimes).

Oh, no doubt about it. I just don't imagine Peter is that honed in on the government when he can blame a whole nation and try and pretend the UK is spotless

Labour's Deputy Leader Angela Rayner charged the taxpayer more than £2,100 for Apple technology, it emerged today.

Between April and August last year, Ms Rayner claimed some £14,390.90 on office expenses alone.

The MP claimed £249 for a pair of personalised Apple AirPods and chalked up £3,809.25 in stationary and printing costs.

John O'Connell, chief executive of the TaxPayers' Alliance, told MailOnline: 'MPs splashing our cash on luxury items is unforgivable.

'No doubt all of this spending will be shown to be 'within the rules'. But all MPs should be asking themselves if that spending was remotely necessary, particularly when millions of Brits could be facing unemployment in the coming months.

'MPs should limit their spending to items essential for their jobs and not get taxpayers to pick up the tab for their personal spending addiction.'

Ms Rayner, the MP for Ashton-under-Lyne, received a basic salary of £79,467.96 from 2019-2020.

A spokesperson for Angela Rayner said: 'All expenses for the running of Angela's parliamentary office were submitted in line with the rules.'

It feels a bit champagne socialist and very hypocritical...

Ha

I always thought we banned the Mirror because it was anti Everton (owner of the RS Echo).

I wonder if they made the same legal threats to RS forums?

The cheeky sods a fortnight after a legal threat, then ran an article lifting quotes from GrandOldTeam's forum. Remarkable lol

I've just reversed image/searched the title and see what you mean now - it's not on the tweet though and has no relevance to the point. It was one of many '#AirpodAngela' tweets.

The headline is the story, carried across many outlets.

That said, I've just searched your posts for Rayner - it's clear your a big fan of her. Sorry she's a fraud mate.
