Angela Rayner launches comeback bid telling MPs she made an 'honest mistake'

Angela Rayner embarked on the comeback trail today as she delivered a belated resignation speech to MPs. The former deputy PM told the Commons that the 'last few weeks have been incredibly tough on my family' with the 'toll of the incredible scrutiny'. She said failing to pay stamp duty had been an 'honestly made mistake' and she recognised senior politicians needed to be held to the 'highest standard of transparency and accountability'.
