Rayner denies wrongdoing over council house sale amid police review

Sounds like a non-issue so far really, the police already felt there was no case to answer and are reviewing the matter because a Tory rival pressured them to.

I’d say it just turned into an issue. This always seemed like fairly serious stuff to me, even more than Beergate. We could possibly be talking about violations of the tax code and electoral law. But, of course, as with any suspect in a criminal investigation, she is to be presumed innocent until proven guilty.

Oh possibly sure, but I can't ignore that it's all seemingly coming from one rival MP with an obvious axe to grind and a motive to divert attention.
Not to say such financial matters arent worth investigating, but I don't think they compare to sexual scandals and endangering your colleagues like Rishi the flimsy is claiming

Whilst you are right that it is difficult to ignore the political undertones of this investigation, I think we can both agree that this has become an issue for Rayner, no? That doesn’t mean it’s a huge or detrimental issue, but I cannot see this as a ‘non-issue’ or ‘nothing-burger’ anymore. It would have been had the police declared they made the right call in not investigating this situation, but they have reversed that decision.

The whole thing has a strong tit for tat Hunter Biden vibe about it.

I think I want to wait and see if the police come back with anything of substance....

Where were Mr Daly's detective skills when Lady Mone and her man ripped taxpayers for scores of millions? I don't remember him haranguing tbe police then.

Rayner has now said she’ll step down if she has committed a criminal act.

It is rather hypocritical for the Conservatives to focus on Rayner when they are utterly shameless when it comes to their own corruption.
