Former UKIP leader Henry Bolton has slammed Labour's deputy leader Angela Rayner over the tax affairs scandal.
Rayner has faced questions on whether she paid the right amount of tax on the 2015 sale of her council house.
She had bought her ex-council house and made £48,000 on the sale which, if it was not her principal property, would have been eligible for capital gains tax. Rayner has always maintained this was her primary home and therefore she was exempt from this tax.
However, The Mail on Sunday has claimed that according to its analysis of her social media and Twitter accounts, evidence suggests she should have paid more capital gains tax precisely because that house was not her primary property.
Speaking on GB News, Bolton said: "Fundamentally, what we've got here is a situation that she is creating or she is enabling.
"The Labour Party is enabling and that is to further the disappointment of the British people in terms of the transparency and the integrity of our politicians on all sides.
"I'm saying the same thing about Angela Rayner. She should publish her defence or go.
"There are accusations. There are plenty of accusations out there that are unfounded. And many, many people in all sorts of walks of life have lost their jobs, and had their lives destroyed because of unfounded accusations.
"If Angela Rayner has got the evidence that it's unfounded, why doesn't she clear it up?"
