It is time for Angela Rayner to come clean, resign or be sacked, says Patrick Christys

Here is the latest:

Bombshell pictures from Angela Rayner’s own Instagram profile appear to expose that she may have been lying about where she lived.

She has repeatedly claimed that she lived at a property on Vicarage Road. She was registered there on the electoral roll.

When Ms Rayner re-registered the births of two of her children in 2010 she gave her address as her husband’s house on Lowndes Lane.

This enabled her to avoid capital gains tax on the sale of the former council house and by retaining the property for more than five years she avoided having to return some of the price discount to the council.

She could also have earned a 25 per cent single-occupancy discount on her council tax.

She posts something showing her son’s bedroom, that room is then confirmed to be the loft room at Lowndes Lane. Which strongly implies her children were living at that address.

There are pictures of her saying things like ‘Home Sweet Home’ and ‘just got back from work’ and photos of her which appear to match estate agents photos like this from inside the property.

One of her children appears to be celebrating a birthday in a kitchen, that kitchen has the same floor tiling and chef ornament as the one in Lowndes Lane.

Essentially, what Angela Rayner is asking us to believe is living at Lowndes Lane were: Her husband. Her two teenage children with her husband. Her teenage son from a previous relationship. Her brother and her cats.

Living at the two bedroom property down the road…Just Angela Rayner.

It means Ms Rayner potentially faces a criminal conviction and a fine for a false declaration on the electoral roll – and under tax rules, married couples and civil couples can normally only count one property as their main home at any one time.

So it’s an electoral roll and a tax issue.

But the problem for Labour is this: It’s dragged other big hitters into it.

Step forward David Lammy, the man many think will soon be our Foreign Secretary, with a ridiculous and pathetic excuse. Saying it’s one rule for the Tories and another for Labour. A classic of the genre.

And now Keir Starmer, who told our political editor Christopher Hope that he believed Rayner, but Mr Forensic was refusing to actually look at the evidence himself.

That is wilful blindness from Mr Forensic. Not a good look. In fact, some might think it looks a bit shifty.

Here’s how we really know we’re onto something. We keep being told it’s a ‘non-story’…

But of course Angela Rayner has form for two things: Calling for her opponents to be sacked, and saying that ‘non-stories’ or ‘witch hunts’ are a load of rubbish…

It remains to be seen whether or not Angela Rayner is not only a law breaker but also a liar. She currently denies any wrongdoing.
