It’s honestly gross that the Tories have twice successfully put political pressure on the police to investigate innocent Labour MPs.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    Angela Rayner has been cleared of any potential criminal wrongdoing over claims she avoided tax over the sale of a home, with Greater Manchester police saying it would take no action against the Labour deputy leader.

    “Following allegations about Angela Rayner MP, Greater Manchester police has completed a thorough, carefully considered and proportionate investigation,” a spokesperson for the force said.

    “The investigation originated from complaints made by Mr James Daly MP directly to GMP.

    Subsequent further contact with GMP by members of the public, and claims made by individuals featured in media reporting, indicated a strong public interest in the need for allegations to be investigated.

    GMP has liaised with Stockport council and information about our investigation has been shared with them.

    Details of our investigation have also been shared with His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs.”
