Angela Rayner accuses Tories of using 'desperate tactics' after police drop probe following council house row

Angela Rayner has today accused the Tories of using "desperate tactics" after police said they would take no further action following a probe into her living arrangements. Police launched the investigation into the Deputy Labour leader's financial affairs after a Conservative MP raised questions over the sale of her council house in 2015.

“The investigation originated from complaints made by Mr James Daly MP directly to GMP. "Subsequent further contact with GMP by members of the public, and claims made by individuals featured in media reporting, indicated a strong public interest in the need for allegations to be investigated.“Matters involving council tax and personal tax do not fall into the jurisdiction of policing. GMP has liaised with Stockport Council and information about our investigation has been shared with them.
