Another top UK official on the line of fire.
Unpopular leftist Keir Starmer is under pressure again to sack a key member of his failing cabinet.
The Prime Minister may oust his deputy Angela Rayner, after she admitted underpaying taxes on her ‘second home’.
The Telegraph reported:
“The Deputy Prime Minister has referred herself to the ethics adviser and said she had considered resigning after The Telegraph revealed she had dodged a £40,000 tax bill on her new home on the south coast.
She spoke out hours after a court order was overturned that had blocked her from telling the full details about her financial arrangements. Ms. Rayner’s admission will increase pressure on her to consider her position in Government.
Facing Sir Keir at Prime Minister’s Questions, Kemi Badenoch, the Tory leader, said: ‘I welcome the fact that the Deputy Prime Minister has referred herself to the ethics adviser. She has admitted she underpaid tax. So why is she still in office?’”

Starmer is insisting that Rayner had gone ‘over and above’ by asking for a court ruling to be lifted, ensuring that all information is in the public domain.
“But Mrs. Badenoch replied: ‘I’m not sure we would have heard all that sympathy [for Ms. Rayner] if it was a Conservative Deputy Prime Minister who was being attacked. I remember when the Prime Minister said that tax evasion is a criminal offence and should be treated as all other fraud. If he had a backbone, he would sack her’.”
Nigel Farage, Reform UK leader: ‘I don’t see how Angela Rayner can survive this’.

“Asked whether she had considered resigning, [Rayner] said: ‘I’ve been in shock, really, because I thought I’d done everything properly, and I relied on the advice that I received and I’m devastated because I’ve always upheld the rules and always have done’.”
