ANGELA Rayner has moved her lover Sam Tarry into her new seaside home – weeks after she quit as Deputy PM over the stamp duty scandal.
She was seen leaving the £800,000 three-bedroom apartment in Hove, East Sussex, shortly after her former MP boyfriend Sam Tarry walked out clutching a set of keys.

It comes after The Sun on Sunday revealed last week Tarry was seen moving items between Ms Rayner’s flat and his house in nearby Brighton – helped by her taxpayer-funded security guards.
A source said: “Angela and Sam certainly seem to be taking the next step in their relationship.
“They have been spending a lot of time together recently – and now it would appear they have moved in together.”
Former Labour MP Mr Tarry – who lost his Ilford South seat in last year’s general election – has been in an on-off relationship with Ms Rayner since 2022.
The dad-of-two, 44, who is separated from his wife, wore a grey and white camouflage cap, jacket and jeans as he emerged from Ms Rayner’s home on Thursday morning.
Mum-of-three Ms Rayner, 45, had left shortly before with a close protection officer.
Ms Rayner was forced to resign on September 5 after it emerged she had failed to pay £40,000 in stamp duty on her Hove pad.
It came after The Sun on Sunday revealed in August that she had purchased the apartment – earning her the nickname “Three Pads Rayner”.
Ms Rayner already had a grace-and-favour flat at Admiralty House in London’s Whitehall – as well as being registered at her family home in her constituency of Ashton-under-Lyne, Gtr Manchester.
She later tearfully claimed she had been given incorrect tax advice when purchasing the Hove pad, leading to her underpaying on stamp duty by £40,000.
But Sir Laurie Magnus, the PM’s Independent Adviser on Ministerial Standards, found she had breached the ministerial code by underpaying tax.
