Angela Rayner’s Hove flat: five questions for the deputy PM

The article discusses the controversy surrounding Angela Rayner's purchase of an £800,000 flat in Hove, which is located far from her constituency in Ashton-under-Lyne. The main focus of the criticism is the complicated tax arrangements surrounding the purchase, although Rayner's allies insist that she has done nothing wrong and is not under investigation by the prime minister's adviser on ministerial standards. The article outlines five questions that Rayner will likely be asked to explain when she publicly addresses the issue. These include the details of the property arrangements, the source of the funds used for the purchase, the rationale for buying a home outside of her constituency, and any potential conflicts of interest or ethical considerations involved in the transaction. The article also notes that Downing Street has stated that some information related to the case cannot be disclosed due to a court ruling.
