What the fucking fuck. Joke paper. Analysis here was reading the members' register of interests. And then phoning some "campaigners" up.
Ministers who earn profits from privately owned property could be seen as hypocrites by voters who want to see the government’s promised rent reforms become law, campaigners have said.

The warning comes after Guardian analysis revealed four cabinet ministers – including the chancellor, Rachel Reeves – have declared rental income from property in the MPs’ register of interests.
The Renters Rights Bill is going through right now. As far as we know, none of these embryonic Rachmans have sought to thwart it.

The Government could be seen as hypocrites, they write, as if they're in no way trying to create that impression.

Yup as I said if the bill doesn’t go through that is the issue.

Has anyone tried turning the Guardian on and off?
