Labour call for an overhaul of public standards system

Labour’s deputy leader claims Boris Johnson is not "just one bad apple" as she makes the case for an overhaul of the public standards system.

Speaking to the Institute for Government, Angela Rayner says "Take Boris Johnson as just a random example - a very effective confidence trickster.

He certainly sounded like the typical good chap, but I don't think there are many serious people who would call him that now”.

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.
