Neighbour Claims Angela Rayner Called Herself 'Landlord'
Labour deputy leader Angela Rayner is under scrutiny as a neighbour alleges that she introduced herself as the 'landlord' of her former council house.
Pressure Mounts Over Capital Gains Tax
Allegations arise regarding up to £3,000 in capital gains tax owed from the 2015 sale of Rayner's right-to-buy house, adding to the pressure on the politician.
A neighbour has said that Labour deputy Angela Rayner introduced herself as 'landlord' of a property in Stockport amid her capital gains tax row
Denial and Criticism
Rayner denies liability for the tax, arguing that the property was her primary residence. Critics, however, highlight her marriage and time spent at her husband's property during that period.
Neighbour Chris Hinett claims that Rayner referred to herself as the 'landlord' when addressing an issue at the property, where her brother was reportedly living.
Call for Investigation
Tory MPs are pushing for an investigation into whether tax should have been paid on the £48,500 profit Rayner made from the house sale. MP Jonathan Gullis urges Rayner to be transparent about the situation.
Labour's Response
A Labour spokesman maintains that Rayner sought advice and was advised that no tax was payable in this case.
