Victoria’s secret: Corruption

Published



Does Britain’s Labour have a corruption problem?

It’s hard to get a room in New York City for less than $500 a night. Unless you’re an illegal immigrant. Then, a discreet network of NGOs will whisk you across the country, all expenses paid, and New York’s Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) will accommodate you for free. Otherwise, it’s Airbnb and bedbugs for all. So hats off to Angela Rayner, Britain’s deputy prime minister, for snagging a four-night, five-day stay over last New Year’s in a two-bed, 1,300-square-foot apartment in Midtown with a roof deck, courtyard, fitness suite, and, the building’s website says, “incredible views” over the Hudson River and New Jersey for only £250, or $335, a night.
