Thursday 14 March 2024 2241 Angela Rayner has said her family deserves some privacy as she continues to face questions over the sale of an ex-council house she previously owned. The Labour Party deputy leader said she had already answered questions about the sale of the property in Ashton-under-Lyne, Greater Manchester. In a statement, Ms Rayner said: "I have already answered questions about this matter and I am not going to comment further. "My family deserves some privacy and I hope that people will respect that." The row over Ms Rayner's tax affairs has been rumbling on for some time now - but what exactly is the deputy Labour leader accused of and what has she said about it? In 2010, Rayner re-registered the birth of her two sons with two addresses - hers and her then-husband Mark Rayner who lived about a mile away, according to reports.
