"The Guardian understands that outstanding legal issues over the tax investigation are being ironed out by lawyers and the HMRC process is now approaching its conclusion. Rayner is also on course to make about 100,000 from speaking engagements since she left government and her memoir, meaning she has earned enough to pay off her outstanding tax bill."
"In a major intervention on Tuesday night, at the campaign group Mainstream's Spring reception, she warned her audience that the very survival of the Labour party is at stake. She warned that his government was running out of time to show it could deliver the change people needed and must not just go through the motions in the face of decline."
Angela Rayner faces resolution of her HMRC tax investigation into underpayment of stamp duty on her seaside flat, an issue that forced her resignation as deputy prime minister last September. Her allies expect the inquiry to conclude before May local elections, removing a significant barrier to her potential leadership candidacy. Rayner has earned approximately £100,000 from speaking engagements and memoir sales, providing funds to settle her outstanding tax bill, though penalty status remains unclear. She has resumed public interventions on policy matters including leasehold reform and workers' rights, while delivering sharp criticism of Prime Minister Starmer's immigration policies and warning that Labour's survival depends on delivering meaningful change.
