Police have issued a new statement over allegations Angela Rayner paid the incorrect amount of tax when selling her former home.

The Ashton-under-Lyne MP denies any wrongdoing following claims made in a book by a former Conservative Party deputy chairman that she failed to properly declare her main residency.

Ms Rayner insists she consulted tax experts when the sale went through in 2015. Police previously decided not to pursue an investigation, but have now issued a statement saying they are 'in the process of reassessing this decision' following a complaint.
