Sylvia Hampson, 83, neighbour at the address Angela Rayner denies living at says…
“If she is saying she didn’t live there she is a f***ing liar. She definitely lived at that house. She can’t say she didn’t live there. I would swear on the Bible to that. They got married from that house. I remember the wedding cars coming to the house to collect Mark and his brother to take them to the church.”

We’ve not had that since Liz Truss days… If your country is under the focus of ‘can they come up with a sensible fiscal strategy’ on a day when the markets think ‘well no, you’re not showing any sign of it’ you’re going to have a tough day…if it stays like this your mortgage rate is going up.”
