Tory MP squirms while refusing to say why he reported Angela Rayner to police

The Tory MP who contacted police about Angela Rayner continued to refuse to say what he thinks she has done wrong.

James Daly, the Conservative Party deputy chairman, contacted police about allegations surrounding the deputy Labour leader’s living arrangements.

Appearing on Sky News on Wednesday, he refused to say what he thought Rayner had done wrong despite being the one to make the complaint and accused fellow panellist Sir Chris Bryant of “shouting”.

It came after he failed to answer a similar question three times during an awkward exchange on the BBC’s Daily Politics programme yesterday.
