The Telegraph somehow out-does Farage on hypocrisy over tax dodging

Right wingers at the Telegraph are lining up to defeat each other in the hypocrisy awards as they criticise Rayner while doing worse
Honestly the whole Rayner thing has been very frustrating.
Woman who is not a financial expert or housing solicitor engages the services of a housing solicitor to sort out a house sale (as 90%+ of people do in the UK), then follows their expert advice on what to do throughout the process.
She later finds out that some of the advice given may have been incorrect, and immediately refers herself for investigation.
Investigation says the advice she received was likely incorrect, and that she owes tax. She pays the tax.
Media and right wing agitators, many of whom have purposely avoided tax, go apeshit, forcing her to resign.
What a joke. We had an ex Conservative chancellor who dodged tax, didn't refer himself for investigation, then threatened to sue any journalists who talked about it. The media stopped talking about it after a few days. Total two-tier journalism.
Tories/Reform can do no wrong, Labour can do no right.
When I got my mortgage, there was so much paperwork, outdated processes, legalese, etc. when my solicitor said to do XYZ, I did it. If they advised me incorrectly, I'd also have had no way of knowing.
