Angela Rayner Resigns As Deputy Prime Minister

Deputy Prime Minister and Housing Secretary Angela Rayner has resigned from her senior roles, including Deputy Leader of the Labour Party, after an independent inquiry found she failed to meet ministerial ethical standards by underpaying stamp duty on a property purchase.

The probe, led by ethics adviser Sir Laurie Magnus, concluded Rayner breached the ministerial code despite acting in good faith.

Investigators said she may have avoided around £40,000 in tax on her £800,000 flat in Hove, East Sussex.

Rayner expressed regret, referred herself to HMRC, and Prime Minister Keir Starmer praised her service as she stepped down.
