Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner has confirmed she pays full council tax on her Manchester home and the second-home premium on her £700,000 Brighton flat after facing questions over her properties.

Rayner also has a grace-and-favour flat in Westminster, with bills covered by the Cabinet Office. Her department recently backed plans allowing councils to double tax on second homes to help locals in tourist areas.

Critics accuse her of hypocrisy, with Tories questioning her transparency. Shadow housing secretary James Cleverly said: “If she can’t be open about her own tax affairs while raising others’, what credibility does she have?”

Labour insists Rayner “takes her council tax obligations seriously and meets them in full.”

Jeremy Kyle and Talk's International Editor, Isabel Oakeshott discuss the big stories of the day.
