Starmer has 'full confidence' in Rayner despite police probe
Sir Keir Starmer says Labour "welcomes" Greater Manchester Police's investigation into Angela Rayner and that he has "full confidence" in his deputy leader.
The Labour leader says the police should now be allowed "the space and the time" to conduct the investigation.
Ms Rayner is accused of failing to properly disclose her living situation a decade ago in official documents.
