Sir Keir Starmer is facing calls to launch a “full investigation” after Rachel Reeves admitted she fell foul of local housing regulations when she put her family home up for rent.

The Chancellor raised the error with the Prime Minister’s independent ethics adviser and admitted it to Sir Keir, after it was revealed by the Daily Mail.
