Police Reassess Allegations Against Angela Rayner Over Council House Sale

Following Conservative complaints, authorities are reevaluating claims that Labour's Deputy Leader may have violated electoral law and tax obligations.

Greater Manchester Police is reassessing claims that Labour Deputy Leader Angela Rayner broke electoral law over the sale of her ex-council house.
Rayner faces scrutiny over whether she should have paid capital gains tax on the property, sold in 2015, and her primary residence at the time.
Conservative deputy chairman James Daly prompted the reassessment, alleging inadequate investigation into Rayner's living arrangements and tax obligations.
Rayner maintains she has done nothing wrong, citing expert tax advice and dismissing the controversy as a manufactured smear.
The police decision to reassess follows initial findings of no evidence of wrongdoing, with updates promised in due course.
