Angela Rayner, Deputy Prime Minister, is facing backlash over a New Year holiday at Lord Waheed Alli's luxury £2m New York apartment. Allegations have surfaced that she breached parliamentary rules by not declaring that her friend, Sam Tarry, accompanied her on the trip. Rayner insists she did not break any rules and claims she has been 'overly transparent' about the holiday. The controversy centers on whether the five-night stay, which Rayner declared as worth £1,250, was accurately reported and whether Tarry's presence should have been disclosed. The apartment, located in Manhattan, is valued at $2.5m.
