Labour's deputy leader Angela Rayner is facing questions about whether she paid enough tax on a house sale, almost a decade ago.
She denies any wrongdoing and has been backed by the party's leader Sir Keir Starmer, with some colleagues claiming she's being "smeared".
On the Sky News Daily, Mark Austin unpicks exactly what Angela Rayner is accused of and discusses if the allegations are really in the public interest with Sky's political correspondent Rob Powell.
They also talk about how important Ms Rayner is to Labour's election ambitions with polling expert Scarlett Maguire.

@@colinrobinson4233 The tories have dodged a lot more tax. How much of Sunak and Hunt's salaries go to revenue and customs?

Give Rayner the benefit of the doubt of an Incorrectly filled in self assessment tax return form being a genuine mistake, unless she is found guilty of deliberately fiddling her tax on said aelf assesment form. And ahe has not been found guilty of fiddlng her tax yet. The assumption by the right of Rayner being guilty until found innocent before it going to court is noise from the right who are seriously worried and are in a blind panic big time about Starmer likely to be PM after the general election as things stand.

There is an opportunity here for Labor to highlight how complicated our tax and electoral laws are, that the Govt has shown by accepting donations from compromised people that what’s in the past can be left in the past and that by focusing on minor potential infractions/misunderstandings it is distracting from more important matters. Also, Labour should be ready for this rubbish speculative reporting if they enter govt. Hopefully the papers are similarly auditing the tax and personal affairs of the other parties and reporting on an unbiased basis.

Hi I brought my council property which I still live in, I was advised that if I sale within 5 years I would have to repay some/all discounted price (why was her house sold after 5 years, same advice?) I wish I could buy a council property and claim if she did 25% and live elsewhere and rent to family or friend and avoid paying any tax to both council tax and government If I was involved in this I would be arrested and convicted and ordered to repay taxes and court costs Please respond Regards

To be honest, If I had to list ten things that I would like this government to be 'laser focused on' this wouldn't make the top ten. Just saying.

Well that surely disproves the right wing narrative that Labour are too far left

So, it’s now confirmed that her statement (‘I’ve never been a landlady’) is a straight lie. And that she in fact was (still is?) as her brother was there, and paying her rent. Clearly, she has not declared this rent to HMRC, so that is yet another offence she has committed (i.e. evasion of Income Tax as well as Capital Gains tax, and probably Council tax too) and she should now be punished for. The skeletons in the closet are really piling up. Another point worth considering, is that this is someone who considers themselves competent to be running the country (despite leaving school with no qualifications) but this scarcely believable farce could hardly have been handled more incompetently than she has managed, with all sorts of incriminating and/or conflicting evidence arising solely from her own inept actions…
