Angela Rayner is facing demands for a full police investigation into her council house tax controversy, with a former ethics chief and a prominent barrister questioning her version of events.
Neighbours Dispute Claims
Questions have arisen over whether Rayner should have paid capital gains tax on the sale of her Stockport property in 2015, as neighbors challenge her assertion that it was her primary residence.
Police Consider Reopening Investigation
Greater Manchester Police are weighing the possibility of reopening an investigation amid concerns that Rayner may have violated electoral law by not residing at her registered address.
Call for Full Inquiry
Sir Alistair Graham, former chairman of the committee on standards in public life, has called for a comprehensive police investigation into the allegations against Rayner, suggesting that her political position could become untenable if she is found to have broken the law.
Legal Expert Questions Credibility
Renowned lawyer Rebecca Butler has expressed skepticism about Rayner's claims, stating that it would be difficult to convince a jury that she was not living with her husband at the time of the property sale.
Rayner maintains her innocence, stating that she sought professional advice regarding the sale of the council house she acquired through the right-to-buy scheme and emphasizing her right to privacy.
