Angela Rayner quits as Deputy PM after ministerial code breach over stamp duty
Angela Rayner resigned as deputy prime minister after an inquiry found she breached the ministerial code by underpaying stamp duty on a Hove property. The report said she acted with integrity but failed to seek expert tax advice. Keir Starmer accepted her resignation with regret. David Lammy takes over as deputy PM, and Labour now faces a deputy leadership contest and a wider reshuffle.
