A Tory MP, James Daly, who reported Labour Party deputy leader Angela Rayner to the police, refused to explain the nature of the complaint. Despite being pressed by journalists, including Beth Rigby, Daly avoided revealing the specifics of the complaint. This incident follows Conservative attempts to criticize Rayner over potential tax issues, with commentators highlighting the irony of a Tory MP creating a political scandal.
