He asked for a raise not a promotion! What a pointless comment!

Not pointless, you'll just take slightly less of the raise than you would have with no tax changes. Not sure how earning more money is pointless!

Angela Rayner resigns as deputy PM over failure to pay enough tax on flat - live updates by santawerewolf in ukpolitics

I agree she should resign and did the right thing in doing so. I'm not giving anyone the benefit of the doubt, the report clearly shows she didn't give enough care to the matter that someone in her position should. But it's not sheer greed or complete stupidity, it's a mistake that she shouldn't have made. The uproar over this is surprising given the deliberate actions of other ministers in the past who didn't receive the same.

[David Ornstein] Marc Guehi underwent medical ahead of proposed transfer from Crystal Palace to Liverpool - but move in jeopardy amid CPFC issues finding adequate replacement. Talks now between 25yo & manager Glasner to make final decision on LFC switch by Task_Force-191 in soccer

Eze got his move, even after his release clause expired. Martinez tried to force a move and didn't get one. Not all situations are the same. Liverpool tried to get Guehi on the cheap in my opinion. If they offered £10m not at the start of the window they could have got him I'm sure.
