Angela Rayner resigns after underpaying tax on Hove flat

Angela Rayner, the Deputy Leader of the Labour Party, has resigned from her position after it was revealed that she underpaid tax on a flat she owns in Hove, UK. The resignation follows the conclusion of an investigation by the Prime Minister's ethics adviser, who found that Rayner had breached the ministerial code. The underpayment of tax was related to the flat Rayner owns in Hove, which she had been renting out. The investigation found that Rayner had failed to properly declare the income from the rental and had subsequently underpaid her taxes. Rayner has acknowledged her mistake and has taken responsibility for the situation. She has stated that she will repay the outstanding tax, including any penalties and interest owed. The resignation is a significant blow to the Labour Party, as Rayner was a key figure in the party's leadership team. However, the party has stated that it respects Rayner's decision and that it will continue to work towards its goals.
