Keir Starmer backs Angela Rayner amid row over Hove flat

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, Hove on the purchase of an apartment on the criticism of Tor continued to encounter the criticism of Angela Rayner supported.

The Daily Telegraph reported After allegedly told the tax authorities to say that it was the main house, he saved £ 40,000 stamp taxes while buying an £ 800,000 apartment in East Sussex.

However, he told the local council that he was his second house, and as a result he pays a higher council tax.

There is no suggestion that he was violating any law, but Tories accused him of hypocrisy and called for an investigation by the Prime Minister’s standard advisor.

Sir Keir told BBC that he was “proud” from the deputy and “talking to him was” a big mistake “.

Rayner spokesman said he had previously paid the “relevant task” that was “completely smooth” to Hove property.

Previously, when Sir Keir was asked that he did not trust the deputy, the official spokesman of the Prime Minister said to journalists: “Yes, the Prime Minister is working in close cooperation with the Deputy Prime Minister … He fulfills the priorities of the people.

He continued: “There is a court order that restricts him to give him more information, which is urgently trying to correct the interests of public transparency.”

In recent weeks, Rayner has faced negative newspaper stories about housing and taxes.

In an interview with Matt Chorley of BBC Radio 5 Live, Sir Keir asked Sir Keir whether a sexist and classist “briefing war” was a victim or whether he had to answer.

“Angela came from a very modest past, fought all kinds of difficulties along the way, and proudly – and I’m proud of it – as the Deputy Prime Minister.”

He described him as a “wonderful story of the British success” and said that he gave the working class children a “real sense of desire”.

Sir Keir added: “Angela, briefing against her and spoke her again and again. In the meantime, a mistake.”

The Rayner allies said that the “primary residence” for parliamentary tax objectives was the home of his family in the Great Manchester election zone of Ashton-Under Lyne Tameside, but he stopped having a shares on the property after his divorce.

If this was classified as a second home, Telegraph meant that he could avoid a higher stamp tax rate to be applied when buying Hove Flat.

According to the newspaper, instead of £ 70,000, he paid a stamp tax for £ 30,000 for an £ 800,000 apartment on Hove.

The stamp tax is a tax paid when purchasing property at a certain price in England and Northern Ireland, and this rate varies depending on how many properties of one.

In the budget of last autumn, The government increased the additional stamp tax rate when buying a second house up to 5%above the standard ratio.

The conservatives called on the Prime Minister’s independent standards consultant to investigate whether Rayner has broken the rules of the ministry.

The party accused him of “hypocritical tax avoidance” while supporting higher taxes in the second houses.

Rayner is responsible for Rayner, Council Tax and Housing Policy as the Secretary of Housing, Communities and Local Government.

“I think people would appreciate the clarity of Angela Rayner.

“I don’t know the details of the purchase of home purchases, but the reason why people ask as in my election area is that they are worried about hypocrisy.”

Tories claimed that the Deputy Prime Minister had violated the Ministry Law for “tax affairs is not in good condition”.

In accordance with the rules, ministers are asked to verify that taxes are up to date and that they are consistent with their inclusive duties to comply with the law.

“Deputy Prime Minister paid the relevant tasks in accordance with the relevant requirements due to the purchase of Hove property, and any suggestion is completely unquestionable,” he said.
