Angela Rayner tax row: Carol Vorderman does the maths | LBC
Carol Vorderman is “absolutely incensed” by the scrutiny Angela Rayner is currently facing over the tax on her council house sale.
The police and HMRC are undergoing an investigation into the sale of the Deputy Labour Leader's council house in 2015. The investigation was prompted by Tory deputy chairman James Daly making the police aware of neighbours who contradicted Ms Rayner's statement that the property, separate from her husband's, was her main residency.
Ms Rayner has said she will step down if she is found to have broken the law. She said: "If I committed a criminal offence, I would of course do the right thing and step down. The British public deserves politicians who know the rules apply to them."

Mitchell denied the allegations, but later resigned from his position amid the controversy. The scandal raised questions about the conduct of politicians and whether they were held to the same standards of behaviour as the public.

Was it Nadhim Zahawi getting caught avoiding tax with a dodgy trust in a taxi haven and then taking over as chancellor while he was still being investigated that made you passionate about this topic? Zahawi incidentally paid more than a million in a fine and is still a sitting Tory MP. Or did you never really like Angela and after weeks of front pages telling you that you were right to dislike her all along now you think this is what matters. Ignore the wars, the millions on NHS waiting lists, the crumbling buildings and councils going bankrupt. What matters is if a decade ago she paid a thousand quid or not on a house sale we have no reason to believe she owed any money on. The issue is they tried to paint her as a Thatcherite which failed. So decided they could imply there's a tax issue. So what if apparently they only Labour MPs to any standards when it comes to taxes, it's a better story than woman sold house. Except there's no reason to think she did anything wrong or if she did that it was anything other than a mistake. So instead there's some faked "if only she would clear things up". Except we know how that would work because they've moved on to yet another attempt to turn this into a story so even if she had somehow "cleared up selling a house" that clearly wouldn't have stopped anything. Also welcome to the early days of the next election. This is going to be it. Don't look at the Tory record, don't look at your own lives or the lives of people you know. They want you to hate individual Labour MPs enough to vote against your own interests. That's all this is. And when they get tired of this invented scandal there's going to be another one and another one. Who cares if there's no evidence, there must be some truth if they keep reporting right?

Yes, similar to how some people call James O'B a hypocrite for being in favour of wealth distribution but also having some money, or for believing in basic human rights for asylum seekers, but then not housing them all personally in his own house.

Breaking the law and being capable of being prosecuted are different things, wonder if she realises
It’s such a waste of time, the Police doing this. Apparently, a prosecution for this type of issue has a year before it’s out of date. They couldn’t prosecute anyway. Also, the Michelle Donalan issue. We also had to pay for the legal costs of the man who was attacked verbally by her. It takes the whole bill to around £67K. Angela Raynor is a brilliant and powerful woman. She will prevail.
Kyle is right, they're terrified of Rayner and especially Johnson who hated the open contempt she had for him and, Like Carol, I look forward to her being in a position to investigate them. As for Carol, she is priceless.
Funny how many self employed people are kicking off about this after wacking everything thru the accountant to pay as little tax as possible….
