Angela Rayner has said she will 'do the right thing and step down' if she is found to have committed a crime in the police investigation into her former living arrangements.
Angela Rayner has said she will 'do the right thing and step down' if she is found to have committed a crime in the police investigation into her former living arrangements. Greater Manchester Police confirmed earlier today that it was re-examining claims the deputy Labour leader may have broken electoral law over information she gave about her living situation a decade ago.
' As well as facing questions over whether she has broken electoral law, Ms Rayner is also facing scrutiny over whether she paid the right amount of tax on the 2015 sale of her council house on Vicarage Road after critics cast doubt on her claim it was her principal residence. Ms Rayner bought the council house in Vicarage Road under right-to-buy rules for £79,000 in 2007 and sold it in March 2015, shortly before she became an MP, for £127,500.
