UK Deputy PM resigns for not paying tax
(MENAFN) Angela Rayner resigned Friday as deputy prime minister, housing secretary, and deputy leader of the Labour Party after admitting she underpaid stamp duty on a flat she purchased in May in Hove, East Sussex.
Rayner referred herself to Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s ethics adviser and said she had received incorrect legal guidance. A report by the prime minister’s standards adviser confirmed she breached the ministerial code but praised her cooperation during the inquiry.
