Angela Rayner, the UK Deputy Prime Minister and Housing Secretary, resigned on Friday amid a scandal over underpaid stamp duty on her £800,000 Hove flat. An independent ethics probe found she breached ministerial standards by failing to seek proper tax advice, leading to an underpayment of up to £40,000. This marks the first major blow to Keir Starmer's new Labour government, raising questions about leadership integrity and sparking calls for accountability, while social media erupts with accusations of hypocrisy given Rayner's past criticisms of tax avoidance.
UK Labour are imploding even further as the Deputy PM resigns over fucking up on her taxes after years of having the public paying for her life with their own taxes.

We paid for Angela Rayner’s education. We paid her wages when she worked for the local council. We paid her wages when she became an MP. We even paid the settlement that enabled her to buy a house. Tax payers have funded every aspect of her entire life.
There are ofc the usual apologists trying to both defend and argue against Rayner being attacked over this because she was a woman but ironically all that does is reduce her to being nothing other than a woman. So the usual stupid play by progressives who don't realise how dehumanising and bigoted their words end up.

Fixed. Hanlon's razor is bullshit.
Gotta love when the best defense they have is "a woman can't know how basic law or taxes work! Why attack her for being a woman?!"
