If you consider £1500 a trivial matter, lets see you donate a tenth of that to a well deserving charity. A foodbank charity would be good.

We don't know these things. The article you posted makes it clear that if either a modest amount of improvements were made, or if her house was nominated as the main residence, there would be no tax liability at all. Also, we don't know whether she made a declaration.
When two people who both already own their own properties get married, it is extremely common to keep both for a few years whilst they decide what to do in the long term. What she did isn't odd at all. Which rules do you think she was trying to avoid/leverage, and how did her behaviour achieve that?
It's a few meals/nights out for many people, or a not particularly expensive new bed, or a fancy new TV, or a cheapish holiday. We need some perspective.

Good thing you weren’t a sub postmaster. I was always sceptical about signs that said abuse of our staff won’t be tolerated, it really means dont challenge us in any way.
Isn’t it odd how Mottie is so concerned about £1500
Yet Mottie isn’t bothered at all about Tory govt giving Michelle Mone and her husband £200 million
Mottie says “£200m is a trivial matter when it’s something to do with my team”
Tory peer Michelle Mone secretly involved in PPE firm she referred to government
Exclusive: Leaked files suggest Mone and her husband were involved in business given £200m contracts

I’ve not seen you mention Tory govt giving Michelle Mone £200 million
Obviously it’s fine when it’s the team you vote for.
If Angela Rayner and husband have broken rules, that is 100% wrong and it needs to be dealt with….but your phoney outrage is simply political point scoring
You surely aren't suggesting that motorbiking posted disparaging rumour and made it out to be fact?
I call on @motorbiking to disprove this slur by showing us his evidence.

I would have to say that the rules should be applied fairly to everyone.She wasn't but for correctness lets say "Nothing to do with ‘Tory faithful' but possible tax fraud by the now deputy labour leader? Yeah, I’d say that’s a major issue, wouldn’t you?" That's better.
I am not usually involved in these types of discussions, so I don't know if he has previous. As a lawyer, I wouldn't expect him to.
Will the same apply to you? Will you supply evidence to back up any of your fantastical claims?
Leave her alone. The poor woman has a couple of kids to feed. She needs every penny.
You've got to love the irony that the man behind these rumours is Lord Ashcroft. The £1500 he is so worried about is roughly what he would pay a partner at a top City firm per hour for advice on avoiding UK tax.

In his case I suspect it takes more than 1hr. I think Starmer has expressed an interest in looking at the loopholes that are used.So £1500 is a not a trivial matter to you
but £200m is so trivial you make a joke of it

I'm the scale of tax issues and mp scandals, how high on the list do you put it?
It needs investigating, but I doubt the hmrc would spend much time and money over it. Until now its been made into a political issue of course
