Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner’s newly purchased property has been vandalised with graffiti accusing her of being a “tax evader”. Angela Rayner’s home defaced with ‘TAX EVADER’ has sparked much debate online.
While no arrests have been made, local police confirmed they were investigating the criminal damage and had increased patrols in the area.
Condemnation of vandalism
A Labour Party spokesperson condemned the vandalism, saying:
“While Angela has committed to addressing the questions raised over her property and tax affairs, resorting to intimidation and criminal damage is unacceptable. Police are rightly investigating this act of vandalism.”
The spokesperson added that Rayner remained focused on her duties as Deputy Prime Minister and would not be deterred by “politically motivated harassment”.
Local residents have also expressed concern that the row surrounding the Labour MP had spilled into criminal damage, partly due to Angela Rayner’s home defaced with ‘TAX EVADER’.
