Angela Rayner resignation: Deputy PM quits after stamp duty error and ministerial code breach
Angela Rayner has quit as deputy prime minister, housing secretary and Labour’s deputy leader after an inquiry found she breached the ministerial code over an incorrect stamp duty payment. She said she acted in good faith but failed to meet the highest standards, and cited the strain on her family. Keir Starmer praised her service and said she remains a major figure in Labour.
