As far as I understand the affair, Angela Rayner got into a muddle about a complex personal tax issue and as a result of this confusion made a statement that was not true. The confusion seems to have arisen in connection with her attempting to provide for her disabled son.
Not great, but I can't get worked up about it.
What I do get worked up about is the long running campaign waged by the the Telegraph and the Mail to hound Rayner out of office.
These loathsome right wing rags cannot abide the thought of a decidedly unOxbridge, left wing, working class woman being in a position of power.

The way wars are referred to in the U.S. – by politicians, journalists and in public scholarship – tends to serve state interests and power rather than necessarily reflect the realities of conflicts.

She has blue eyes and is smiling, with her teeth visible. She is wearing a pink top underneath the blazer and a delicate necklace with a small pendant. Her hair is parted in the middle and falls straight down her shoulders. The background is a plain, neutral gray, providing a simple and unobtrusive backdrop.
