Politics latest: PM insists defence spending pledge ‘fully-funded’; Angela Rayner labels

Angela Rayner is on her feet to grill Oliver Dowden.

She begins by paying tribute to “tireless campaigner” Lord Frank Field and wishing the Jewish community a happy Passover.

The deputy Labour leader then gets straight to business as she says the Conservative Party is “desperate to talk about my living arrangements”, referring to the police investigation into whether she broke electoral law.

But she says the public want to know what the Tories are going to do about theirs.

She refers to a Sky News report about a woman named Natalie who has been handed two no-fault eviction notices within 18 months.

“Instead of obsessing over my house, when will he get a grip and show the same obsession with ending no-fault evictions?” Ms Rayner asks.

Mr Dowden responds that he is pleased to have another exchange with her in the Commons, the fifth in 12 months.

“Any more of these and she’ll be claiming it as her principal residence,” he jokes, before noting that a vote on the issue is being held in the Commons later today.

Ms Rayner accuses him of “caving in” to the interests of Conservative backbenchers “and delaying justice for people like Natalie”.

She later moves onto the issue of leasehold properties, which she calls “another Tory housing failure”. The deputy Labour leader criticises the proposed ban only applying to houses.

“It’s like banning non-doms but excluding Tory prime ministers,” Ms Rayner quips.

“The right honourable lady is talking about legislation introduced by this government which the party opposite totally failed to introduce in their entire time in office,” Mr Dowden says.
