Starmer says he is ‘proud’ to sit beside working class woman who became deputy PM after Rayner admits underpaying stamp duty on £800,000 flat
Kemi Badenoch asks why Angela Rayner is still in office. There is a crisis for the cabinet. But also for the country. When was government borrowing last this high?
Starmer says Rayner has explained her circumstances in detail. And she asked the court to lift a confidentiality order relating to her son. That was difficult, but she did it to make sure all the information is in the public domain.
But Starmer says he is “proud” to sit beside Rayner, who is building 1.5m homes and has come from a working class background to be deputy PM.
Robin Swann (UUP) asks about the extension of inheritance tax for farmers.
