Angela Rayner broke cover today - just before PMQs - to give an interview to Sky News in which she admitted she may have made a mistake on the tax she paid for her seaside property. The details are complicated - and involved both her special needs son and her divorce - but was it tax evasion (illegal) or tax avoidance (not illegal)?

And will her political future rest on the answer?

Later, we’re discussing Graham Linehan , Lucy Connolly, JD Vance and freedom of speech in the UK.
