Jemma Forte, "So the Daily Mail and the other right wing papers are trying to find anything that they can dirt on the Labour party"
"And this is the second time the Daily Mail really featured this very, very heavily. And the story is Angela Raynor sold her council, sorry, bought her council house and apparently might own between one and a half to say, three and a half thousand pounds in capital gains tax when she sold it"
"However, this has already been looked at. She's had legal advice saying she's fine. It was looked at by the police once"
"But these people are desperate to reopen the case and the hypocrisy is just off the scale because the Daily Mail is owned by Lord Ashcroft, who doesn't pay tax in this country, a non dom. It was millions and millions and millions of pounds offshore a newspaper that avoids paying its taxes tax"
"And they're going after a woman who bought her a council house and owes a couple of grand"
"Now, if that is so, then obviously labor important members of the Labour party need to be held up to scrutiny. They need to be accountable. That's absolutely fine"
"But from a party that is full of millionaires and billionaires and people like Jeremy Hunt, who, for instance, said it was an honest mistake that he didn't pay stamp duty on seven properties, it just. It feels rather grotesque to me" @jemmaforte
