Despite Ms Rayner having very expensive taste for electronics, her bill is likely to be accepted by Parliament. John O’Connell, of the TaxPayers’ Alliance, said: “No doubt all this spending will be ‘within the rules’. But MPs should be asking themselves if it was necessary when millions of Brits may face unemployment.”
