A GB News guest has slammed the deputy prime minister in a scathing takedown after it was revealed that she has purchased a seaside apartment on the south coast of England for more than £700,000. Dawn Neesom slammed Angela Rayner after it came to light that she bought the three-bedroom flat near Brighton earlier this year, meaning she now has three properties. Angela already has a home in her constituency in Ashton-under-Lyne, which she bought in 2016 for £375,000, as well as having her ministerial apartment in Admiralty House in Westminster. The Deputy Prime Minister is now facing questions and is accused of "hypocrisy" for purchasing a new flat when her government is tackling second properties.
On GB News, Dawn said: "On the surface, I don't have a problem with someone buying a holiday home for herself. It is just the question of where she is going to pay that council tax, so there are questions to be asked there."
She added: "The London flat is a grace-and-favour flat, so she didn't buy that. But it's not a good look considering what the government is going to do to middle-class homeowners in the autumn."
