Rayner clings on – but for how long?

Angela Rayner is hanging on to her job by a thread. As fresh details emerged in The Daily Telegraph about how she used NHS compensation to fund the purchase of her second home, senior Labour figures looked to be distancing themselves from the Deputy Prime Minister.

Rachel Reeves made a point of telling broadcasters it is “on all of us” to understand tax rules, before No 10 refused to guarantee she would still be in post by the next general election.

Camilla and Tim look at the latest developments in Rayner’s tax scandal, and wonder whether she might resign imminently in order to overshadow tomorrow’s Reform party conference.

Elsewhere they’re joined by royal expert Valentine Low, whose new book Power and the Palace - which has been making headlines for the last week - sheds a fascinating new light on the relationship between the monarchy and Downing Street.
