- Angela Rayner has described Prime Minister Rishi Sunak - who is 5'7 - as a "pint-sized loser" during a feisty exchange at Prime Minister's Questions.
Deputy Prime Minister Oliver Dowden countered the jibes by suggesting the "right honourable landlady" should step down, adding the she might start claiming the House of Commons as her primary residence if the pair were required to deputise again.
Rayner had already begun the exchange with a plea for the Conservatives to stop "obsessing" about her living arrangements and instead focus on banning no-fault evictions, saying that after 14 years the Conservative party has "failed renters, they've failed leaseholders and they've failed mortgage-holders".
Andrew Marr is joined by Editor of Prospect UK Alan Rusbridger to discuss the fiesty exchange and the fallout of the the accusations against the Shadow Deputy.

The Police Officer investigating Angela Rayner gave a speech at the Tory Party Conference.
How can that be allowed?
This needs further investigation but of course they will sweep it under the carpet.
And spoke at tory right wing fringe groups.
Who was it
Maybe he's a member of the party? So what?
@@JupiterThunder given a speech at conference is more than a member of the party.
Rayner wiped the floor with Dowden today who couldn’t even speak properly at the end. Visibly destroyed.
The more the Tories attack Angela the stronger she gets, Angela is a superb role model and a wonderful asset for Labour which is why she is under attack. 🏆Angela Rayner🏆
No, Angela did NOT have to defend herself against Dowden ... she wiped the floor with him!!! GET YOUR REPORTING ... RIGHT!!!
Personally I’m getting increasingly angry by the media allowing Tories to keep this non story in the headlines every day for 11 weeks. Meanwhile our great country is in a complete mess and the Government rejoices that the heat has been taken off of them. Classic distraction politics
straight out of the Boris Johnson playbook.
They are obsessed with tarnishing Angela Rayner because the Tories are frightened of her ability as a politician.
What ability?
Ha ha ha ha.. Oh yes of course they are it's like being frightened of the bogeyman... Neither the bogeyman or Rayners political talent exist 😂😂😂😂
@@captricharddee3634 So Risky and the Cons are better than Angela.
Go take a seat, at the back we don't have time for fools😂😂
😂😂
@@davewright9312Really? A working class woman right at the top of politics. She runs rings around any Tory. That's why they are scared shitless of her.
This is getting boring now. Let's look deeper into the CONservative corruption. The current chancellor and the previous two.
Got to hand it to Ange. Dowden was ready with his list of housing jokes and she completely played him by bringing it up first. She 8 miled him.
Ange lol😊
🎯
Rayner is always brilliant at PMQs. Her delivery is so much more authentic and effective than Starmer.
The Tories are using Rayner as a shield to hide their incompetence -- a distraction.
💯
@@deeingalaplikeThe right wing press convinced enough of a nation that Eton mess Boris Johnson was their pal from down the pub. Never underestimate their influence.
It won't be any better under Labour. We need a clear out and new faces in Parliament.
@@johnsheehan7770 I tend to agree with you. MPs appear to be in it to make themselves richer and the majority poorer.
John it was a lot better in 2010 …..
Oliver Dowden was definitely a snitch at boarding school 😂
He's been terrible at every government position he's had!
Probably had his head flushed in the toilet numerous times,and by the teachers !
Yeah, and Angela was the bike
Bummed by Sir no doubt
@@ryansweeney1661so was Oliver
Rusbridger repeatedly describes Rayner as "...unusual..." Viewers from the US should translate this as "...not having received a private education..."
or, "knows how to talk to the povs"
Barely had one at all. Still smarter than Dowden.
Represents and is more representative of UK voters than the whole of the Tory party.
I know what you mean. But being a pedant, I have to point out that Starmer didn't either.
@@weswheel4834 This is not about Starmer.
Tories behaving badly. Nothing new there. Police resources being wasted. Tories scared to death of Angela Rayner.
Constant attacks on a working class woman who bought her house (like millions of others) for making a few thousand quid 10 years ago will and is backfiring. Ignoring the hundreds of millions tories gave to their mates just highlights the complete hypocrisy and depravity of tories
Everyone should bring up sleazey baroness mone
I think I made a mistake on my tax form 10 years ago and under reported by £1. Should I hand myself in to police ?
My Tory mate down the road said not to because he's not paid any taxes for years and never had a problem.
🦊boom boom !! Haha 😂
She bodied him… no wonder they’re going after her.. she terrifies the Tories
The Tories are just deflecting,from there ,rent boy problems
Tired to death listening to Angelas housing story we have more important things to deal with. Look at your own members and all the stealing and misuse of our taxes Mr Sunak.
Your taxes, their donors money, the environment, other people's lives...they are wastrels.
The Tories will stoop to any level in order to divert attention from their utter shitness.
We are ! Rishi’s tax records are about to be made public after a legal request was granted
Because they know that she's going after their millions in tax avoidance. Isn't it strange that the people who are shouting about Angela Reyner the loudest are the ones who stand to lose the most.
What a complete waste of time and public money. 12 police officers? We only have three police officers to cover the whole area I live in and a population of close to 500,000. It is time for the police to be completely independent of politics and the government. How may police officers are involved in investigating the Mark Menzies and William Wragg incidents I wonder. Why is this no longer on the front page of all the media still, might it be they are Tories
They are constitutionally meant to be independent of the government. The person who referred this to the police was acting as a "ahem" private citizen. I think it's a conspiracy.
Why 😊won't she show the tax advice
@@SuezWSuezW Private Citizen James Daly, Deputy Chair of the Tory party. He is proud of the fact that he reported her to the police - but refuses to publicly say what he thinks she did wrong. Let's be honest; he reported her with information he knew was false or misleading, and he won't say it publicly because he knows he'd be liable for slander.
@@SuezWSuezWnot really, they have always reported via the home office and are now overseen by the Elected Police Commissioners. The Tories have long been trying to move to a politicised police service. They are also trying to do the same with Judges. These attacks are trying to move to an American heavily political model.
@@segue2ant395 Yep, pretty sure you're right.
This is absurd. Don't compare Raynor's potential sandcastle with Johnson/Truss/Sunak's proven beach. There's no comparison here.
The Tories are playground bullies. Obviously they will attack a working class lady with ambitions above her "station"... well geuss what. In the Westminster bubble she is a target. But in the real world there are millions of female voters, who also didn't go to Eton. And many live in the Midlands and the North. And she is a working class hero. Not the sort of relatable working class lass lady who resigns, causing a damaging byelection because Boris promised her an ermine fur coat and it never happened. 😂 that is Labour versus the Tories in a nutshell.. ❤
They don't accept her because she won't doff cap ,touch forelock to them.They think they are far superior to ordinary working class people.
Working class people are the backbone of the country. Come on sweep these privileged skivers into the ditch. It’s s time to vote for the people who really keep this nation above water. Run the country on merit not wealth and social position .
Police chief investigation into Rayner spoke at a Tory conference WELL WELL WELL
Two word reply to that: Sue Gray.
I really cannot understand why tories have a problem with working class, over-achiever, beautiful, competent, witty, popular Angela Rayner.
Witty and popular 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
You forgot hypocrite.
@@paulstewart4195yep!
@@AT-gr4qx Why? She's not been convicted of anything, unlike many Tories.
@@AT-gr4qx You forgot fact
She did a great job at PMQ's
OMG are you for real. Looked like a real Trollope showing off her wares?
@@robertadams1054, nah the OPs right... she tore that Tory guy a new one.

@@captricharddee3634 Quite so, old boy. See you down the Garrick for drinkie-poos.
Ah yes. The Lord Ashcroft who owns the world's largest collection of VCs. That is, the awards given to men who were prepared to lay down their lives for their country, now in the possession of a man who is not even prepared to pay his taxes.
That's sorta interesting, but f*ckin' sad. He must be a sicko.
Stop talking about this nonsense
Who are you aiming your comment at ?
@@jeremymerrifield7244 the producer of show
Why
@@gregsmith7821 Cos there's currently a cost of living crisis, a healthcare crisis, a migration crisis (apparently), an employment crisis, and technically we're in recession still, while our PM is trying to sell anything that's not nailed down before we sack him. There are real events affecting the future of this country that current affairs shows could be talking about.
The Manchester Commissioner is a Tory!!
Also, Mr Marr, Rayner slaughtered Dowden. The Tory jibes got nowhere. Were you seeing the same PMQs
Thank you for pointing this out. It was shocking.
Private Eye has shown links between the Far Right & the Policeman behind the slurs on Angela with the Far Right in the Tories yet his is not mentioned by Marr or his mate. See also Supertanski on this.
They're threatened and intimidated by a strong and intelligent woman. 😮
Because it distracts from failure and their own party's scandals... Mark Menzies
It's literally the only thing anywhere near approaching dirt they have on Labour. Compared to some of the things the Tories have been up to it's laughably unimportant.
Ffs Andrew - do not compare Angela to liar Johnson.
Ok she is just a common liar and hypocrite how’s that
@@paulstewart4195 Yeeeeah no
@@paulstewart4195You have her confused with a Tory
I think Marr is a closet tory.
I was just about to comment the same thing. Johnson isn't fit to lick Rayner's boots.
Because it's pretty much all they have
They need a distraction.
Because they have no plan besides just saying the plan is working 🤣
It's as if they think people aren't now hyper aware of that. Hilarious.
Starmer and Rayner know she is in the clear.
Absolutely correct. You don't offer to stand down if found guilty if there is any chance of you actually being guilty
Clearly, the Tories are in such a mess they are desperate to distract. 🤣🤣🤣
Deflecting from their own terrible behaviour.
The brass neck on these crooks to accuse someone else of tax avoidance
Watson the GMP Chief Constable, has addressed far right wing CONservative tjink tanks.
Ashcroft still calls himself @LordAshcroft
Leave her alone...Angela is for the people... shes honest and noble...the Tories are just disgusting... they are greedy and crule..
It further verifies the impotence of the tory party.
What Ms Rayner did 10 years ago is history as well as minor compared to the incompetence, sleeze and dubious activities of the opposition.
“It was only a minor crime therefore because she is Labour, we should ignore it”.
@@robg5710is also something that HMRC already reviewed and they said "case closed".
12 police officers investigating something that can't be prosecuted because of statute of time limits.
Labours best asset Oliver Dowden
I think there is quite the competition going on for that particular title.
No he isn't. But he's one of them. There's a list.
Basset? Yeah, I thought he was a brainless as one of those.
Starmer is fortunate to have Rayner as his deputy. He should always have her back. The press will come at her because they always serve the interests of the Tories.
Because it's all they've got..... Ive heard about those in glass houses but I really dont see how they DARE mock anyone with their almost endless catalogue of perversions, lies incompetence and theft
It gives the media something to write about other thsn all the failings of this wretched government
Dowden finished Labours questions with she spends to much time criticising others failings she’d only criticised the Tory’s and himself . Besides that being the oppositions job He just admitted that they are failures .
It is all the Tories have left.
There wouldn't be much point in abolishing the right to buy council homes given they the Tories haven't built any.
I love Angela Raynor. She's real, authentic and speaks the same language as us.
12 officers for a working class women that buys her own council house. Says it all, it really does. And the Tories obsession with it.
For tax purposes you don't need to live somewhere to use it as your primary residence.
Notice Dowden's careful use of language, they really fear her and thier media dogs will do anything to pull her down
Tories fear real politicians.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Do you mean the village bike
@@ryansweeney1661 You sound nervous.
Is this the best the torys can come with.don’t like the fact she from a council house
This the one thing that the tories have been successful in and that is wasting public money and resources.
Tories are terrified of her?
😂😂,
Dowden saying the tories have recently in the last or last two parliaments made this country great , he's living in cloud cuckoo land, he's sick of mind, he's suffering from denial of the truth.
£billions wasted and missing with the people picking up the tab.
They've got nothing else to campaign on
And the Tories are up for a clear view of what they did before they were MPs? Also, are they throwing stones at their own glass houses....
Did you hear them mention how worried they are about her working class.
👍🏻
It’s scary to think that these clowns are supposed to be running our country. It’s more like a noisy kindergarten!
Here's a question nobody seems to be asking - have Greater Manchester Police EVER investigated ANYBODY for alleged evasion of CGT let alone assign 10 detectives on to the case which seems to centre on a sum of under two grand? And if they haven't (and they so haven't) has the force's head's close relationship with the Conservative Party and it's extreme right wing got something to do with it?
@ 0:55 sweeping away the reforms that made this country Great, What made this Country Great were the four Reform Bills 1832, 1867, 1884-85, And in 14yrs or tory rule, NO act as improved the lot of the hourly paid worker,
Ms. Rayner may be an unusual politician, but so is Mr. Starmer. He is almost certainly not going to fold in the face of unfair media pressure. That would open the door for more press bullying in future.
Let's have a long close look at Dowden's Expenses Claims for the last few years shall we?
They're obssessed by her, she's tory kryptonite. Dowden had no chance against her.
It's a diversionary tactic away from the Mark Menzies scandal, it's reported that the money was in a fund that “sits outside the remit” of the party and its local association.
This raises more questions, whose money was it, what was it for and who authorised its use ?
The questions continue.
And who was it paid to for what
What were you watching. She went on the attack from the start. Dowden was squeaky and wet as usual. Get a grip on reality
The look on Penny Mordaunt's face says it all.She knows the game is up.
Is this a joke? She totally undercut him from the start, and he was floundering from then on.
THE POLICE IN THiS COUNTRY NEED TO BE INDEPENDENT
She didn't say he was a "great" election winner, she said he was their biggest election winner. This is about numbers only - not the qualities of the man, as you seem to want to suggest with the word "great". The story only survives because the likes of you keep giving it the kiss of life.
She’s noticed because she speaks with a regional accent. It’s that simple.
Well done to Angela facing them yesterday at PMQs!
Time to move on, as the tories always say
Angler is a real polatition. She will helo the ordinary people... thats what labour duposed to do...
Omg
She told you not to sell your house while selling hers
How dumb are you guys
She's just a rusty bike
@@ryansweeney1661Not true. But if it was, so what? This happened before she became involved in politics. Did you shout loudly about when Liz Truss was a Lib Dem who campaigned to remain in the EU?
@@DellaWilliams-vo3ez
You are nothing more than a hypocrite,
Do not message me , please
@@ryansweeney1661 This person - Ryan sweeney - is the epitome of a snowflake 😂😂😂😂
@@DellaWilliams-vo3ez You don't even know she said don't sell council house but did herself
You are the exact reason no one takes the lefties serious
I think the Tories are so obsessed because she's a competent, working class woman. Everything that they hate. Competent. Working class. It's anathema to them, they despise her for her ability.
Come on Marr you're keeping it going too. It's gone on for weeks because Tories have nothing else on Labour and NO, this is not debilitating for Labour, it's to be expected.
Rayner should go??? That's the way it is and has been for 30 years if a scandle imerges??? If that's the case we would not have the tory party at all!!
Why is LBC so obsessed with reporting this?
It just shows how desperate the Tory newspapers are, that this none story is the best that they can dig up on the Labour front bench.
The pmqs just shows that Ryaner would be a better pm than Starmer
The tories flopped
Angela is a proper politician. Tories have gone for her since Dominic Rabb got roasted by her. Men picking on women in politics is as low as one can get. The tories portray themselves whiter than white. Everyone of them has a skeleton or two in the cupboard.
It's the only smearful thing the Tories can come up with against Labour.
People underestimate Starmer again and again Starmer isn’t scared of Murdoch he’s put his journalists into criminal court before.
Everyone can see this for the cynical, hypocritical and desperate ploy it is. If Starmer were to cave to this and throw Rayner under the bus to try and save his own skin, I hope nobody would forgive him.
Sweep the privileged gets away.
because it's taking the derry off themselves..🙄..
Because she is going to uncover all the ppe people who were involved in the scam and send them to prison
It is a message.
If you look into other politicians and ask for accountability, then they will pull your life apart as payback.
That's why no one is supporting her.
she trounced them.
Rayner is a real threat...unlike Starmer. Its just deflection from the Tories own corruption. I actually laughed when he said 'makes Britain great'...I can't decide whether Britain is a joke (because it isn't funny but it is ridiculous) or a disgrace (because if it wasn't people's lives involved it would be funny). I feel sick about living in the UK now. I said I would leave the country if Thatcher got back in, I wish I did because it has only got worse. I am ashamed of being British, the UK is a despicable country to live in
Thatcher stripped around 1.2 trillion in assets from the country a lot now owned by offshore interests
If you have an asset such as a house, water company, energy your expecting a return, so the value to the country of ownership is a loss of around 60 billion per year
Strarmer gone with a few others and bring back Corbyn and recruit Lynch, and Rayner for Prime Minister.
I'd prefer her as PM over Starmer any day. She'd get things done.
I think it's an own goal. All it has done has increase the prominence of one of Labours biggest assets. Like Boris, a little bit of notoriety does Ange no harm at all. So as they keep her in the news, and she keeps on treating it as she does, more and more people are aware of her and liking what they see.
Its a bit like Piers Morgan and Megan Markle. Unhealthy. 😂😂
What else have they got?
Now I’m hoping they find her guilty and is arrested and charged. It will make the Tories look like Putin’s Russia, but I suppose that’s what they’re aiming for.
no scandal would be worse than Starmer letting Rayner go for unfounded alegations about literally nothing at all. I do hope that Starmer is not so foolish to do this very wrong thing.
Angela should react with one word: rentboys! The shiver of fear on the Tory benches would be so rewarding to watch....
Starmer needs to swallow his pride and back Rayner. She's Labour's biggest asset for the election campaign. Starmer lacks charisma, he needs her whether he likes it or not.
