Tory MP James Daly has lodged a police complaint against Labour’s deputy leader Angela Rayner concerning the sale of her council house, yet has not specified the alleged offences. Daly, representing Bury North, initiated the complaint after disputes arose from neighbours about Rayner’s residency claims. The Greater Manchester Police are investigating whether Rayner violated electoral law by possibly providing false information about her residence prior to becoming an MP. Rayner has asserted her innocence and expressed her willingness to cooperate with the investigation.

In another matter, the Labour Party reported that mortgage repossessions in the UK have risen significantly following the mini-budget introduced by former Prime Minister Liz Truss. Labour cited a 25.6% increase in repossession claims in 2023, with a 38% rise observed in the last quarter of the year alone, compared to the same period in 2022. Angela Rayner criticized Truss for lacking empathy towards those affected by the economic impacts of her fiscal policies, which have contributed to heightened mortgage bills for many families. Truss defended her budget, attributing economic difficulties to sustained low-interest rates rather than her policies.
