Angela Rayner calls Rishi Sunak a pint-sized loser during PMQs
Labour’s deputy leader Angela Rayner has accused the Government of delaying justice for those being served no-fault evictions.During Deputy Prime Minister’s Questions, Ms Rayner said: “He clearly thought he could spend all week obsessing over my living arrangements and didn’t even bother to read-up on his own Government’s Bill this afternoon.“The reality is, he caved into vested interests on his backbenches and delayed justice for people like Natalie. This week the Housing Minister said there is no solid date for banning no fault evictions, the Housing Secretary (Michael Gove) now says it won’t happen before an election, so if he can give us a date, can he name it now?”Deputy Prime Minister Oliver Dowden replied: “I can name the date for (Ms Rayner), today. It’s today that this House will be voting on it. And I’m confident that in line with our manifesto we will deliver on that commitment.”
