Deputy Labour Leader Angela Rayner Urges Ministers to Prioritize Housing Reforms Over Her Sale, Criticizes Dowden at PMQs

Deputy Labour leader Angela Rayner criticized the government for focusing on her house sale investigation instead of addressing housing reforms, specifically no-fault evictions and watered-down leasehold reform plans.
She made these remarks during deputy prime minister's questions, emphasizing the public's interest in solutions for their own housing issues.

During Prime Minister's Questions, Deputy Prime Minister Oliver Dowden and Labour Party leader Keir Starmer's representative, Angela Rayner, exchanged barbs.

Rayner criticized Dowden for betraying Boris Johnson to help Rishi Sunak become prime minister, and Dowden joked about Rayner's potential claim of the House of Commons as her principal residence.

Dowden has reportedly urged Sunak to call an early election.

Rayner accused Dowden of replacing a "biggest election winner" with a "pint-sized loser." The deputy Labour leader, Angela Rayner, is under scrutiny for potential tax issues regarding the sale of her Stockport council house in 2015.

There is a debate over whether it was her primary residence at the time.

Conservative MP Oliver Dowden made comments during a parliamentary session, implying that Rayner frequently changes her residence for political gain and fails to take responsibility for her own actions.
