Kemi Badenoch criticises Deputy PM Angela Rayner, saying Labour ministers are seeking to raise taxes while she tries to avoid paying her own. She calls the situation "hypocrisy" and says Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who has described tax evasion as a criminal offence, must apply the same standards to his own front bench. Report by Covellm.

Sir Keir Starmer says the situation in Gaza is "horrifying" and warns of a potential man-made famine. Responding to a question from Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey during today’s Prime Minister’s Questions, the PM also told MPs he is working on a peace plan with international partners to secure the release of hostages and said Sir Ed Davey could have raised the issue himself at the upcoming state banquet with President Trump, had he not declined the invitation.

Angela Rayner admits she owes additional tax on her Hove flat, after taking expert legal advice. She says she initially relied on counsel that she was liable for standard stamp duty but later found this was inaccurate due to a family trust. The deputy prime minister has alerted the independent adviser on the ministerial code and HMRC, saying she will pay any tax owed and fully comply. Report by Covellm.

Shadow housing secretary Sir James Cleverly says Angela Rayner has "serious questions to answer" over her stamp duty admission. While stressing he is not alleging illegality, he said the housing secretary went to "extraordinary lengths" to minimise tax while criticising others for the same behaviour, calling the situation "hypocritical".
