Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner has come under scrutiny after purchasing a third home, a seaside flat in Hove valued at £800,000. The acquisition has prompted criticism from Conservative Party members, who accused her of hypocrisy regarding property taxes. Reports reveal that Rayner reduced her stamp duty tax bill by £40,000 by declaring the Hove flat as her main residence to tax authorities. The controversy has sparked broader discussions about housing market impacts and political integrity, with calls for greater transparency and accountability in government, including demands to remove private water lobbyists from the Treasury.






Labour promised us ‘the highest standards of integrity and honesty’ and committed to ‘restoring trust between the public and politics’. If you want us to trust you, get rid of private water lobbyists from the Treasury! Read our open letter to Rachel Reeves. Link in comments https://t.co/7FY0eKceBf
