Angela Rayner will meet Oliver Dowden in what is likely to be a heated PMQs session as the Labour deputy leader continues to answer questions about the sale of her former council home, Sky News reports.
With Rishi Sunak out of the country, Wednesday’s session will be a battle of MPs, with Mr. Dowden likely to press Ms. Rayner on the issue.
Allies of Ms. Rayner, who has prepared some of her barbs for this crucial meeting, insist she did nothing wrong and will ultimately be exonerated by the police investigation.
At this time, Mr. Sunak is on a visit to Germany. The Prime Minister and Olaf Scholz, the German Chancellor, will pledge to deepen the allies’ defence and security ties during talks in Berlin.
The two countries will open a “new chapter” in their partnership, Mr. Sunak said ahead of the visit.
