tarry

The Sunday Times reported that Rayner had stayed in the flat of Lord Alli with Sam Tarry, who was then Labour MP for Ilford South, last December.

However, Rayner was challenged over whether she should also have declared that Tarry stayed in the flat with her.

Rayner insisted she had not broken any rules by not declaring Tarry stayed in the flat.

Rayner added she did not go to New York with Tarry but she met up with him there.

The architectural historian Reyner Banham believed that the wharf planted the seed that grew into Santa Monica, and that the tarry stench that earned the landing its nickname came from the “pee-yew” gesture that folks made, fanning at their noses as they hurried by.
