Angela Rayner, the former deputy prime minister, has been cleared in a tax probe, opening the door for her to pursue the UK leadership race.
The resolution of the investigation removes a significant obstacle to Rayner entering a contest to replace Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Her clearance strengthens her political standing within the Labour Party.
Rayner's potential candidacy could reshape the competition for the top job, as she now faces no outstanding legal or regulatory impediments to her advancement.
