Press Releases
Sir Keir Starmer has said that he is “satisfied” that his deputy Angela Rayner has not broken electoral law or evaded capital gains tax over her ‘second’ home – but has not “felt the need” to see the legal or tax advice that clears her.
Speaking to GB News in Dudley, Starmer said: “Angela has answered all questions. She’s been very clear. She will talk to any of the authorities that want more information. She’s taken legal advice.”
“My team have seen it. I have never felt the need, nor do I think it’s appropriate for me personally to see it. I’m satisfied with the answers that she’s given repeatedly now on this.”
Asked by GB News how he knew she was cleared by the advice if he had not seen it, Starmer replied: “I don’t need to. It’s not appropriate for me to see that legal advice.”
Asked if Rayner should she resign if the police investigate, he replied: “I’m not going to get into hypotheticals. We’ve been down this road many, many times before. The police have made their decision they need to now get on with the decision and the process that they’re going through.”
