The purchase has sparked debate as it comes at a time when her department is intensifying efforts to regulate and crack down on second-home ownership, a policy aimed at addressing housing shortages and affordability concerns.

Rayner, who has built a reputation as a strong advocate for housing reforms, has been criticised by some for what appears to be a contradiction between her personal choices and her political stance.

Despite the controversy, the Deputy Prime Minister marked the occasion with a house-warming celebration alongside her partner, former Labour MP Sam Tarry.

The acquisition has added fuel to ongoing discussions about property ownership among politicians and the wider issue of housing inequality in the UK.
