Angela Rayner hit by new accusations of rule breaking over the sale of her old council house

ANGELA Rayner has been hit by new accusations of rule breaking over the sale of her old council house.

The Labour deputy leader has been under pressure to prove she does not owe up to £3,000 capital gains tax from the 2015 sale of her right-to-buy home.

She sold it for £127,500, making a £48,500 profit.

Ms Rayner insists she was not liable for tax on the property as it was her primary residence.

But critics point out she married five years earlier and had been spending time at her husband’s property.

Now dozens of social media posts have emerged that show her with her children and cats at her husband’s house during that period.

One was posted with the caption “just got home”, the Mail on Sunday said.

It said she may face a criminal conviction and fine for a false declaration on the electoral roll and under tax rules.

Ms Rayner says she has tax advice which shows she did nothing wrong, but refused to publish it.

Tory MP James Daly told the paper: “These staggering revelations seem to show that Angela Rayner has not been telling the truth.

“Keir Starmer has said he has full confidence in her, but has refused to consider any evidence.”

A Labour spokesman said: “Angela has always made clear she spent time at her husband’s property when they had children and got married. She was perfectly entitled to do so.”
