Angela Rayner's property lawyers today avoided any responsibility for the fiasco over her tax.
The high-street conveyancing firm she used to buy a flat issued a devastating statement saying they had calculated the stamp duty based on the information she provided.
It could prove a fatal blow to the deputy prime minister who had sought to lay the blame for her troubles on her advisers.
In her tearful interview on Wednesday she said she had received incorrect advice over the amount of stamp duty to pay.
But today the small family-run conveyancing firm which dealt with her property purchase, Verrico & Associates, based in Herne Bay, Kent, hit back.
