Angela Rayner, Labour's deputy leader, finds herself at the epicenter of a whirlwind of controversies. From accusations of tax fraud to investigations into potential breaches of electoral law, Rayner's name is making headlines for all the wrong reasons. Keir Starmer, the Labour leader, has come to her defense, labeling the accusations as 'smears' by political opponents.

The scrutiny intensified when Greater Manchester Police confirmed an investigation into Rayner, specifically focusing on her 2015 house sale and other related allegations. The unfolding drama took a heated turn as Tory MP James Daly engaged in a fiery debate on live TV over the accusations against Rayner, adding fuel to the already blazing fire.

Facts are being checked, theories debated, and the public is questioning Rayner's actions regarding her council house purchase and subsequent property dealings. The controversy seems far from over, with Rishi Sunak also entering the fray with accusations and jibes, further heating up the political landscape.

In the midst of it all, the ongoing investigations and accusations raise serious questions about Rayner's integrity and the implications of her actions. As the saga continues to unfold, one thing remains certain – Angela Rayner's name is now synonymous with controversy and political turmoil.
