Angela Rayner told Tory MPs to "stop obsessing" over her council tax and "get a grip" during a fiery Prime Minister's Questions on Wednesday, 24 April.
The deputy Labour leader's reply came after Oliver Dowden aimed a jibe at her, joking that she would be claiming the House of Commons as her principal residence soon.
