I know plenty of people who work full time in real jobs, and also rent out a house. Renting a single building doesn’t give you enough to quit your job where I live.
Nor are you a landlord while doing another job. If you are doing your own investment work while being paid a PAYE job. You are also a thief, but I doubt you have that recorded on your payslip.
It may sound silly. But so is the whole claim of this article. Starmer never said or even suggested landlords cannot work. He was asked the question, in relation to the Labour Party manifesto pledge not to raise “working taxes”
His answer was “not under the definition we are using” (for working taxes)
It is an utterly pathetic attempt to so division to claim “Starmer suggests landlords and shareholders are not ‘working people’”
He definitely did not say it and the telegraphs use of the word “suggests” makes it clear they know that.
It is nothing but an outright lie designed to sow division.
