Labour's deputy leader Angela Rayner broke cover on the election trail as the Tories heaped more pressure on her to answer questions about her tax affairs. Ms Rayner joined shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper and shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves.
Angela Rayner is facing fresh pressure to explain the sale of her former council home today as police reopened an investigation into whether she broke the law.
A spokesman for Greater Manchester Police said: 'We're investigating whether any offences have been committed. This follows a reassessment of the information provided to us by Mr Daly.' In a stony-faced interview with broadcasters he said: 'I am fully confident that Angela Rayner has not broken the rules. She will cooperate with the investigation as you would expect and it is really a matter for the police.'
Ms Rayner has denied wrongdoing. But she has refused to publish tax advice which she claims exonerates her – and has not shown it directly to Sir Keir Starmer , he has admitted. London Mayor Sadiq Khan added: 'I'm fully confident in Angela, she's one of my best friends and I'm sure she'll be cleared.'

Knowingly providing false information on an electoral registration form is an offence, which can carry a six-month prison sentence or an unlimited fine.
