Angela Rayner’s Stamp Duty dodge

Today Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner continues to face criticism regarding the purchase of an £800,000 flat in Hove. She has been accused of ‘hypocrisy’ for avoiding tax on her new seaside home, as she allegedly saved £40,000 in stamp duty, by declaring that it was the only property she owns. The Conservatives are calling for her to face an ethics inquiry, and The Standard’s Chief Political Correspondent Rachael Burford is here with the latest. 

And in part two, food and drink writer Amira Arasteh joins us to discuss whether the era of the Mayfair ‘clubstaurant’ is really over in the capital.
