Angela Rayner has resigned from her roles as Deputy Prime Minister, Housing Secretary and Deputy Leader of the Labour Party following an investigation into her property dealings. The move meant she avoided paying an estimated £40,000 in stamp duty. In her resignation letter, Ms Rayner said she accepted full responsibility for the error and that the pressure on her family had become unbearable. He said she would remain an important figure in the Labour Party despite leaving government. Her resignation leaves Starmer to carry out a hasty Cabinet reshuffle while attempting to steady his government amid growing pressure.
