The World Tonight

Available for over a year

The political future of Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner hangs in the balance as Westminster awaits a report into her tax affairs by Keir Starmer’s independent adviser on ministerial standards. Rayner has admitted under-paying stamp duty on a second home in Hove, but says she was acting on incorrect legal advice. Also on the programme: an icon of fashion, Italian designer Georgio Armani, has died at the age of 91; and we visit the modern-day almshouse shortlisted for the Stirling Prize for architecture.
