Yvette Cooper backs Angela Rayner amid questions over tax

Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper has expressed her support for Angela Rayner despite questions surrounding whether the deputy leader should have paid capital gains tax on the sale of her old council house in 2015. Ms Cooper hopes a line will be drawn under the issue when Ms Rayner sets out the facts to the police and HMRC, and argues the Conservatives are attempting to focus on this from 10 years ago rather than the current pressures on the NHS and the cost of living.

What will an independent regulator mean for English football?

English football moved closer to gaining an independent regulator today, as the Football Governance Bill was introduced before Parliament. The regulator would license clubs in England’s top five tiers, and its primary responsibility would be to safeguard the financial sustainability of the men’s professional game. It would also have the power to resolve the dispute between the Premier League and the English Football League over financial distribution, should the two parties fail to agree a deal.
