She allegedly sold a 25% share of her Ashton-under-Lyne home to her son's trust for £162,500. Her son, born prematurely, received compensation five years ago after an 11-year legal fight over birth-related difficulties; that payout was paid into a trust to protect his interests.

She was released from a court undertaking and received public defence from Sir Keir Starmer.
