Property purchase in Hove raises questions for Rayner
The Independent
|August 25, 2025
Angela Rayner has purchased an £800,000 seaside apartment in Hove, which will be a third home for the deputy prime minister.
Critics called on Ms Rayner to answer questions about the properties she owns and where she pays council tax after she purchased the property.
Shadow housing secretary James Cleverly said: “Angela Rayner is responsible for housing policy, yet she won't even be straight about her own.”
“Time and again she's been asked to declare exactly what properties she owns and where she pays council tax, and time and again she's dodged those questions,” he told The Mail on Sunday.
