Rayner’s former aide ‘contradicts her housing claims in police statement’

Labour deputy leader Angela Rayner has denied any wrongdoing over the row about her previous living arrangements

Officers are investigating whether Labour’s deputy leader broke electoral law after Tory allegations that she may given false information about her main residence a decade ago. Greater Manchester Police initially said it would not be investigating the allegations, but following a complaint from the Bury North MP, the force confirmed it had reassessed information and launched a probe.

“There was no doubt in my mind that this was Ms Rayner’s family home, where she lived with her then-husband, Mark,” his letter states. Shadow minister Jim McMahon dismissed the allegations earlier on Saturday as a “storm in a teacup” after Defence Secretary Grant Shapps accused Ms Rayner of “double standards”.
