Stamp Duty calculation is not exactly rocket science, the criteria and basis for the various qualifying criteria is pretty straightforward and well understood, even a Government website to identify and calculate your particular stamp duty due on the transaction is available. So pretty inexcusable to get it so wrong and does question what was the basis of the transaction.
Ok, people make mistakes, but she compounded it by further misrepresentations as to advice received, to cover her tracks. That to me goes to the heart of the matter and her lack of honesty and any sense of decency/principles guiding her actions, taking us all for and treating us all as fools, for a second time. That's the most telling aspect and reflection of her character.
I hope the local party deselect her, as clearly she hasn't resigned her seat, as clearly not fit for high office and being a representative of the voters..I disagree about one's background and more humble beginnings are excuses, no matter where you come from simple honesty and integrity are pretty core values to most families no matter what their background
