Angela Rayner could struggle to pay the mortgage on her new £800,000 home in Hove after having her salary slashed following her departure from Sir Keir Starmer's Cabinet, it has been reported.
The axed Deputy Prime Minister will see her salary reduce from £161,409 to £93,904 as she loses the additional income she received while serving as Housing and Communities Secretary.
Ms Rayner also faces having to pay back the £40,000 stamp duty she owes, plus interest, and her political rivals are calling on her to forfeit her £16,876 severance payment.
Until yesterday, Ms Rayner had access to a lavish grace and favour Whitehall flat in Admiralty House, as well as her £650,000 Ashton-under-Lyne constituency home a three-bedroom pad in Hove.
Ms Rayner had bought the seaside property for £800,000 but failed to pay the correct amount of stamp duty, underpaying HMRC by roughly £40,000.
