Angela Rayner Resigns as UK Deputy PM After Stamp Duty Underpayment on Hove Flat
Angela Rayner resigned as UK deputy prime minister after an inquiry found she fell short of ministerial standards over stamp duty underpayment on a Hove flat. She said she followed legal advice that turned out to be wrong, saving about £40,000. The case involves a trust set up for her disabled son and the sale of her stake in a family home in January 2025. Keir Starmer praised her service but said she made the right call.
