Follow our live coverage after claims Angela Rayner dodged shelling out £40,000 on her coastal flat after saying it was her main place of residence to tax authorities:
Angela Rayner acted 'fully within the law'
Government minister Stephen Kinnock has given a staunch defence of Angela Rayner, insisting the Deputy Prime Minister had acted 'fully within the law'.
He told LBC: 'The Deputy Prime Minister has made it absolutely clear she has done absolutely nothing wrong. I do wonder sometimes about some of the newspapers out there just seem to be sort of constantly looking to dig out stories.'
Mr Kinnock also dismissed a suggestion it was an example of 'do as I say, not as I do' from Ms Rayner.
