Angela Rayner is the deputy leader of the Labour Party.

Over the last few weeks, a story has emerged about the possibility of her having underpaid capital gains tax on the sale of her previous home, possibly by as much as £1,500.

The Conservative Party and elements of the right wing press say that this is a serious story and that Rayner has broken the law. They have even put pressure on the police to investigate. Others have said that this is a smear campaign and compared it to the time that the Tories made a big deal about Starmer drinking a beer to distract from their own lockdown breaches.

Rayner has said that she will stand down if she has committed a criminal offence.

Will she be charged with a crime?

If she is charged, or she accepts criminal liability or a criminal fine (not a civil fine or an agreement to pay money to HMRC), this market resolves to YES.

If Parliament is dissolved for a general election before that happens, this market resolves to NO.
