Angela Rayner has resigned as Housing Secretary and Deputy Prime Minister in a major blow for the Labour Government at Westminster. ‌

The MP has chosen to quit Keir Starmer's Cabinet after she admitted this week she had failed to pay enough stamp duty on a flat she purchased on the English south coast earlier this year. ‌

Rayner's departure is a major set-back for Labour at a time the UK Government is struggling in the polls. ‌
