PM refuses to say if he will sack Rayner if she broke rules

The Prime Minister has refused to confirm whether he will dismiss Labour deputy leader Angela Rayner if she is found to have breached the ministerial code. The investigation centers around allegations that Rayner underpaid stamp duty on the purchase of a new home. The Prime Minister's standards adviser is currently investigating the matter, and the PM has stated that he will wait for the findings before making a decision. Rayner has acknowledged the issue and said she will cooperate fully with the investigation. The incident has sparked a political debate, with the opposition calling for transparency and accountability. The PM, however, has maintained a neutral stance, emphasizing the need for due process and the rule of law. The outcome of the investigation will be closely watched, as it could have significant implications for the political landscape and the government's commitment to upholding ethical standards.
