Angela Rayner has resigned from her position as Deputy Prime Minister and Deputy Leader of the Labour Party after an investigation found that she did not adhere to ministerial ethical standards regarding the purchase of an £800,000 apartment. Although she acted in good faith, she acknowledged that she paid too little in taxes, saving £40,000. Prime Minister Keir Starmer expressed sadness at her departure, highlighting her achievements in politics. Her resignation leaves a gap in the Labour government, which is facing challenges in reconnecting with its traditional voter base.
