the first home is vicarage road, in stockport, where angela rayner bought a property in 2007, eight yearser, who owned his home around two miles away and appears to have registered all of their children at his address — but on the electoral register, she continued to be listed as living at her house, creating confusion as to where she legally lived. it matters because of capital gains tax. you don't pay it when you sell your main home, but married couples can only count one property as their main home. keir starmer�*s team will likely be relieved that the police investigation has been dropped now, minimising the chances of difficult headlines later in the election campaign. for months, the party's long—time attack dog has been under attack herself, but perhaps now she will be unleashed. joe pike, bbc news, westminster. with me is labour's shadow chief secretary to the treasury, darrenjones. thank you very much for coming in to see us here on bbc news. we've been hearing from the shadow chancellor today who's promised there will be no additional tax rises, the everything you propose will b

angela rayner the deputy leader. yeah. hang over labour's election campaign because there were questions around angela rayner relating to a house that she had had as a council house that she had as a council house and then under right to buy she bought it and then she went on to sell this. this was all a number of years ago and you talked about it on newscasts before, but there was this question about whether or not she's paid all the tax she should have owed on that property, but also whether or not she's registered that property correctly, where she was living at the time. and what we've had today is news from greater manchester police that they are taking no action against angela rayner because of course they were looking into this. but also the local authority says it's not taking any action against angela rayner. and also labour have told the bbc that hmrc are taking no action against angela rayner. so you can imagine you've got probably a pretty big sigh of relief echoing around the labour camp that that isn't going

tonight angela rayner had welcomed the _ wrong.d welcomed the news, saying - welcomed the news, saying conservatives reported her to distract from their record in government. so far the tories have not commented. the row is about whether she was honest about where she lived and when. the first home is vicarage road in stockport where angela rayner bought a property in 2007, eight years before becoming an mp. in 2010 she married mark rein who owned his home around two miles away and appears to have registered all of their children at his address but on the electoral register, she continued to be listed as living at her house, creating confusion as to where she legally lived. it matters because of capital gains tax. you don't pay it when you sell your main home but married couples can only count one property as their main home. keir starmer�*s tea will likely be relieved that the police investigation has been dropped. minimising the chances of difficult headlines later in the election campaign. for months, the party's long time attac

angela rayner the guardian.bott hasn't been treated fairly or appropriately. the veteran mp had the labour whip restored this week after a long suspension. she's accused keir starmer of culling the party's left wing sir keir says he wants the highest quality candidates and has described her as a trailblazer. meanwhile labour's election campaign continues, with the party's leader assuring voters that pledges to cut nhs waiting lists won't need any new taxes. >> well, as you would expect with this changed labour party, every proposal that we put on the table is fully costed and fully funded, and we've been really clear about not raising income tax and ni, and we've said repeatedly that nothing in our plans require us to raise tax , and that's why we've been tax, and that's why we've been able to set out our position on vat as well. and that's in stark contrast to a government that's taken the tax burden on working people to the highest level since the war. and during this campaign is showing it hasn't learnt the l

and it's clear that angela rayner is in charge of his party and not him.ters unhappy. as the first black british female mp in history, . the amount she has done - for the community and for those that don't have a voice - is something that has resonated with so many of us around here. i think it's pretty awful, really, how they've treated her. i don't particularly think she has been treated unfairly. she has said things in the past which are not on the political, not politically correct. the tussle over who will be labour's candidate in this seat is all about the age old internal battles between right and left. keir starmer�*s iron grip on the party machinery is perhaps not quite as strong as we thought. and angela rayner�*s arguably decisive role in this row could give us a taste of the dynamics at the top of government to come, if labour were to win this election. if diane abbott does stand and win, she will become the longest serving labour mp, and the mother of the house. joe pike, bbc news, hackney. and for more on diane abbott and the trump verdict, t

correct me if i'm wrong, that's angela rayner. oh sorry i've got angela rayner is first. all to see. they fail once again. but i do. >> i do believe you did mention i did, i did, i did, i said that, that this whole it's the tories are completely offended and outraged by a left wing working class woman who doesn't know her. nonsense. well, that is not nonsense. they are the worst. the worst thing. the worst. the worst thing. the worst thing, patrick, is the greater manchester police , greater manchester police, basically have admitted that they've consciously intervened in politics on behalf of the conservative party. anyone could have said that. he didn't take it. a too much should be investigated for, though. no, no, no no, no one is saying that it was obvious from the very start that this statement makes perfectly clear that so many of these things that she's been accused of are outside the remit of the police that didn't need an investigation to work out. that should have been obvious at the start. oh, this is crime that she's been accused of. that's not our business.

angela rayner believes guardian.ran mp had the labour whip restored this week after a long suspension. she's accused the keir starmer of culling the party's left wing. but sir keir starmer says he wants the highest quality candidates and described her as a trailblazer . described her as a trailblazer. the polite country party is pledging to undo the effects of brexit in wales by rejoining the single market and customs union at a campaign launch in bangor today. the party's leader, catherine appleroth , said the catherine appleroth, said the tories had left a trail of destruction, though he cautioned labour against taking welsh voters for granted . meanwhile, voters for granted. meanwhile, the leader of the liberal democrat party has pledged to improve mental health among young people and children across the country. sir ed davey is campaigning in frome today. he says his party would treble taxes for social media firms to fund a mental health professional in every primary and secondary school . a nine and secondary sc

shall we start with angela rayner?ater manchester hmrc, yeah, greater manchester police have announced they are no further actioning the complaint into angela rayner by the deputy chairman of the conservatives >> and, as far as we're concerned , that absolutely draws concerned, that absolutely draws a line under the matter. >> angela had always been clear that she would participate in any investigation or any questions from hmrc or any other organisation. my understanding is the local council has investigated and dropped everything, and i don't believe hmrc are pursuing any further lines of inquiry either. >> okay, i mean there still could be an inquiry by hmrc that remains to be seen. can i talk to you about rachel reeves today? she's been out on the campaign trail talking about labour's plans for business, for the economy. one thing that strikes me is that she's coming across as a bit of an old mother hubbard when she got there, the cupboard was bare. there's no money with the opposite of jeremy corbyn's magic money

and by the way, angela rayner did mention my name to that group.ating is to see an attempt by the most mainstream media to close down this debate. we should be talking about this if we have a growing band of young muslim men and women, men mostly in this country, who despise everything we stand for, i think that is a problem , nigel. >> we've got to leave it there. but thank you very much indeed for your time this evening after what i know has been a very busy day. well, we still want reaction to our central question of tonight's show, which is will the immigration debate affect your vote? will it change who your vote? will it change who you for ? vote and please get in you for? vote and please get in touch with us as ever at gb views @gbnews .co.uk, and let's give you some of that feedback now , actually, rory says, as now, actually, rory says, as a labour member, i'm very confident in kieran yvette cooper smashing the gangs and bringing control to the border. do you agree with that? we'll hear more about that welcome back to farage with me. camil

angela rayner yesterday, first ever black female mp. own mandate, she yesterday gave a very different position. she said that she saw no reason why diane abbott should not be allowed to be a labour candidate. i think a lot of people thought there was more than a whiff of a challenge to the labour leader there. and then this morning on bbc breakfast, anas sarwar, the separately elected leader of the scottish labour party, with his own mandate, went almost but not quite up mandate, went almost but not quite up to angela rayner�*s position because he said he agreed with angela rayner that diane abbott was a trailblazer and that he wanted labour's national executive to take into account diane abbott's pioneering history, when they make the decision on tuesday over whether she should be a labour candidate. he wouldn't quite say what his own view was. i mean, this is in danger of just... in fact, was. i mean, this is in danger of just... infact, i was. i mean, this is in danger of just... in fact, i think it already is quite publicly chaotic

that's a story around angela rayner. march when an unofficial biography of angela rayner was published by lord ashcroft. this involves angela rayner buying her former council housein rayner buying her former council house in 2007 in stockport. she sold that in 2015just before becoming an mp. in the meantime, she got married. they have been claims that she had been living at a different address in the meantime. what that means is that when she then sold the house, it could potentially have been the case that it should have been the case that it should have been capital gains tax. we've heard from stockport council and police from stockport council and police from greater manchester that they are no longer looking to this. the conservative parties are trying to say this in octave because we have not heard from hmrc. they never comment on these things. but we have been told that hmrc �*s and no tax was owed and the investigation is over. there's a relief.— over. there's a relief. before he let ou over. there's a relief. bef

it's also a mixed day for angela rayner.now would bring the ceasefire. i would bring the ceasefire. i would do it. i would do it. >> she's copping it for that. but then there's this. >> the labour leader has accused the conservative of using desperate tactics after greater manchester police said it will take no further action in its investigation into electoral irregularities and lib dem leader sir ed davey. >> it's finally making waves. meanwhile, rishi sunak is doing all it takes to win the pensioners . vote. nay nay. nay. pensioners. vote. nay nay. nay. >> nay. nay. nay >> nay. nay. nay >> my top team this evening are columnist esther krakow. i've got conservative commentator albie amankona and journalist and political commentator jonathan. liz. oh, and can you work out what's happening here? mark steyn for palestine tv . get mark steyn for palestine tv. get ready britain. here we go .

she's beenin the return of angela rayner. latest episode of newscast and it is on bbc sounds. —— what we'll be hearing. plenty more here in the coming minutes but let's turn to some of the really important stories of the day because a nine—year—old girl is in a critical consists tagamet condition after a shooting in northeast london —— critical condition. there been speaking to the the last few hours. it saddens me deeply to say about him at 920 last night, on kingsland high street in hackney, three men and a nine—year—old girl were shocked when a firearm was discharged from a motorbike. i know the local people will be extremely concerned by this incident and we share that concern. an urgent investigation is been launched identify and apprehend those responsible. three men, aged 26, 37 and 42 were sitting outside of a restaurant were ta ken to and 42 were sitting outside of a restaurant were taken to hospital for treatment for gunshot wounds. their conditions are stable but when potentially face life—changing injuries. in nin

anas sarwar, standing beside you, says he agrees with angela rayner.you agree with them or are you sticking to the line that no decision has been taken? well, no decision has been taken, so that's the factual position. no decision to bar diane. this afternoon, that changed. she's free to go forward as a labour candidate. the whip is back with her. it's been restored. senior labour insiders concede this week's events have been a distraction. chanting: we stand with diane! including wednesday's rally on diane abbott's home turf of hackney. theyjust want me excluded from parliament. tonight, the veteran left—winger has told me whilst keir starmer�*s intervention is "positive", she doesn't want to speak on camera until after her candidacy is rubber—stamped next week. and we still don't know if she'll definitely stand. it just reconfirms what we know about keir starmer, and that's. that he constantly changes his mind. and it's clear that angela rayner's in charge of his party and not him. in hackney north, this row has left some voters unhappy. as the first

so i think as we speak tonight, angela rayner is in the clear.l those weeks of speculating about whether she owed a small amount of tax in cgt, well, there you go. >> interesting times for sure christopher hope, thank you very much for that. now one of the stories that was dominating the headunes stories that was dominating the headlines today, this whole row about whether or not there should be vat applied to private schools or not, we've been going round in circles that debate for quite some time. but now apparently there's a new report out that says that actually, if vat is indeed applied to those private schools, we're going to see an exodus of about 40% of those pupils going into state school. long story short, that suggestion there is basically the maths, therefore don't add up and theatre . what do you make up and theatre. what do you make to this idea anyway of vat being appued to this idea anyway of vat being applied to private school fees? >> i think it's absolutely ridiculous that parents who send their children to private school are o

and now, angela rayner has stood up and taken down abbott's side. abbott, angela rayner has said, well, she's cracked the whip and keir starmer is cowering in the corner . and the interesting corner. and the interesting thing is, though, he's managed to block everybody else. he can't do this to angela rayner because as deputy she is voted by the members so much as he would love to sideline her as he's done. he can't. and so we've now set up, i think we have just given what we are going to be seeing in the next four years. >> that's the fear. the conservatives, john, are running today with the attack line that this is angela rayners labour party, not really keir starmer. she's the one calling the shots. that's what the tories are going at now offers. >> no. well they're right to do that. i mean it's you won't get the labour party to exist without there being a left and right. i mean, that is just so much in the dna of the labour party. you're not going to eradicate that, however hard you might be. it's a question of how strong are the left, how stron

i think it's really important. >> quick question, do you think angela rayner could recognise palestine there was, she was given a map without borders clearly marked . how confident clearly marked. how confident would you be? >> the i feel that's a harsh question. i don't want to be that fair enough. >> i was remembering israel's is it palestine ? no, it's rome that it palestine? no, it's rome that was . that's the historical was. that's the historical solution. i'm settling on, steve, we have. another labour female politician. now, all political careers end in failure, this one likely to do so in july by the look of it. yeah. >> to the times diane abbott to be banned from standing for laboun be banned from standing for labour. which is odd because if ever there's a time when they need a little bit of anti—semitism, just to level things off. but previously on laboun things off. but previously on labour, she wrote for the observer. she said that jewish people, irish people and travellers didn't know real racism like black people. they were more akin to the prejudice that ginger people ha

angela rayner says you will. angela rayner says you will. six union bosses say she will. weak leadership here? >> i think what he's doing is following due process. so there has been a disciplinary process that's now concluded. diane has the whip back, he said there is no decision to bar diane abbott, but there is. it's for the nec to make the decision on who our candidates are . and of course, candidates are. and of course, there's no decision from the nec yet on my part. i have agreed with angela rayner to say that diane is a trailblazer in the labour party, someone with a proud history of delivery, both for our party and her local community, and someone who made history by being elected as the first woman, first black woman mp, which is , of course, making mp, which is, of course, making history in itself. so what we're focused on what's really on offer here, which is the choice and the change, and let's deliver that change by getting rid of this rotten tory government and by voting scottish labour in this election on the 4th of july. >> anas sarwar joana jarjue gb news
