Angela Rayner's former aide, Matt Finnegan, has written to the police contradicting her claims about her previous living arrangements. Finnegan stated that there was no doubt that the address Rayner claims was her husband's address in 2014 was actually her family home. The police are investigating whether Rayner broke electoral law by providing false information about her main residence. Rayner is looking forward to resolving the matter with the authorities.
The row over Angela Rayner ’s previous living arrangements has deepened as her former aide reportedly wrote to police contradicting her claims.
Mr Finnegan left Ms Rayner’s employment with a £20,000 payout and non-disclosure agreement after accusing her of disability discrimination and unfair dismissal and has told police he “vividly” remembers her home was elsewhere, the Sunday Times reported. Ms Rayner has promised to resign if she is found to have committed a crime over the accusations, but said she “followed the rules at all times”.
Shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper said Labour deputy leader Angela Rayner has “done the right thing” by taking independent tax and legal advice.
