“But it’s a bit rich for Jeremy Hunt, who owns multiple properties, which he rents out, to make a jibe at Angela Rayner who bought a council house and later sold it. I think that it’s very, very different.
“Well, look, I’ve seen the representations and what Angela has said. I have an absolute faith in Angela. She’s been very clear, she’s taken advice, and has explained the situation, and that’s good enough for me.”
Former next-door neighbour Sylvia Hampson, 83, said Ms Rayner lived in the terraced home in Lowndes Lane in Stockport for a good “six or seven years”, despite Ms Rayner's insistence that her main home was on Vicarage Road.

The mother-of-two, who has lived in her home for 50 years, said: “She was definitely living here full-time from about 2009 or 2010. I saw her all the time, coming and going and her mum would come and visit a lot.”
Ms Reeves told the BBC’s Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg that it would not be possible for Labour to set out the details of spending cuts that it would carry out in government.
The shadow Chancellor said: “At the moment the Government have not set out their plans by individual departments so we don’t have a spending review. I will do a spending review quickly if we win the election, but that’s not something that is possible to do from opposition.”
