Angela Rayner has been criticised for having “three pads” after it emerged on Saturday night that she had added an £800,000 seaside apartment to her property empire.
The Deputy Prime Minister has bought a new “holiday home” in Hove to add to her three-bedroom grace-and-favour flat at Admiralty House, in central London, and a £650,000 constituency home near Manchester.
It comes at a time when she is looking to impose an extra 100 per cent council tax charge on second homes, leading to the Conservatives to call on her to “come clean” about her council tax situation.
The levy is being imposed as people living in popular holiday spots, including Hove, are unable to afford homes where they were brought up due to the number of people buying second homes.
