The Labour leader insists 'nobody is interested' in claims his deputy dodged capital gains tax or registered to vote at the wrong address, compared to A&E waiting times increasing ten-fold in five years.

Allegations over Angela Rayner's living arrangements are just a 'smear' being pushed by the Conservatives, the Labour leader has claimed. Sir Keir Starmer's deputy has come under the spotlight in recent weeks over the sale of an ex-council house she owned in Stockport, having been accused of avoiding capital gains tax on the property and falsely registering to vote there - claims she has denied.

'But I will say this, that on the day that the A&E figures people are waiting more than 24 hours in A&E - we now know that they are 10 times as high as they were five years ago - the idea that the Tories want to be focusing on Angela Rayner, how much time she spent with her ex-husband 10 years ago, I can tell you, here at this hospital, nobody but nobody is interested in that.
