Watch: Angela Rayner’s fury at Hunt’s Budget jibe

Jeremy Hunt failed to raise many laughs with his Budget gags – but his quips went down particularly badly with Labour’s deputy leader Angela Rayner.

After picking on Keir Starmer with a rather crude jibe at his weight, Hunt then turned the guns on Rayner, who has recently been reported to the taxman over allegations she may have failed to pay thousands when selling her old home, a former council house.

‘I have also been looking at the stamp duty relief for people who purchase more than one dwelling in a single transaction, known as Multiple Dwellings Relief,’ adding: ‘I see the Deputy Leader of the Labour Party paying close attention given her multiple dwellings!’

Cue the laughter — and the wrath of Rayner, whom almost jumped out of her seat. Did Hunt’s remark cut a little close to the bone?
