Accountability is important if we’re to have any trust in our leaders – she has done the right thing. Something a tory would never even consider, as evidenced by their decade and a half of rampant, shameless corruption.
The housing secretary fucking up buying a house is remarkable
But…. but… r/unitedkingdom told me she did nothing wrong? How can people on Reddit be misinformed about UK politics?
Edit: See below comments for those same people claiming they always knew it was dodgy. Ridiculous.
All these people in Government have to do is not be a fucking idiot. Why do most of them fail?
A housing minister not paying stamp duty is sackable. However she will try and come out and spin it. End off. Zero excuses
Right thing to do. Holding the government accountable was an absolute joke during the Tory years so Labour have to set a better standard.
She was an appalling politician. I remember years ago that many of us had trust in her leadership after Corby, but oh my. She’s proven to be a terrible speaker, a treacherous politician who’s lost the trust of both the left and lgbt community, and this shit on top of that? Get out.
Hypocrisy is the most deplorable characteristic for a politician!
The right thing to do. Huge cock up in the first place, but respect for not trying to cling to an untenable position like her Tory counterparts are wont to do.
How will she pay for her portfolio of property now. An 800k mortgage doesn’t come cheap
labour party deputy leadership election incoming. the question is whether starmer will have enough authority within the PLP to effectively anoint a candidate and avoid a potentially messy and headline-grabbing contest. will likely depend on who he backs – if it’s someone from the party’s right-flank the left/centre-left will likely nominate their own candidate, whereas someone from the party’s centre would likely avoid that, but might upset the blairite clique that hold a lot of power within the party right now
Streeting will be thrilled.
His pathway to no10 is right there for him.
So Labour have to hold themselves to a higher standard and it still won’t be seen as enough. Robert Jenrick has literally taken bribes from property developers to approve their housing schemes.
Only difference between Rayner and the rest is she got caught. Tories have been doing similar things since dawn of time and no one cares.
Good on her. 14 years of lack of accountability can’t be answered with a further lack of accountability. Shame to see her go, though.
Sure all parties have indiscretions. But the Housing minister didn’t pay the proper stamp duty. The anti-corruption minister up for corruption in Sri Lanka. The homelessness minister dumping tenants out onto the street.
Labour do indiscretions to a new level.
I don’t really care about this, but it’s nice to see accountability and self responsibility back on the menu. This is what adults in charge looks like. A Tory would never.

Rayner
4 in 14 months, not bad going.
We now have ministers who resign when found to have breached the ministerial code.
I think this is an improvement.
Good riddance. Used to think she was one of the few “for the people” types but like usual, power and privilege takes precedent and she’s abusing her power to get around forking out for things we all have to otherwise.
So when do Tice and Farage resign after stashing money offshore to avoid tax?
Staggering arrogance to think she could get away with it tbh. All to save £40,000 on £800,000 property. Why even take the risk?
And as always, wonderful to see this sub with egg on it’s face yet again after giving her the all clear.
So she wasn’t advised incorrectly then. If she was then proof of that would have been released to back this claim up instead of resigning.
“Rayner resigns of tax “error” “.
LOL FFS error?! Tax dodging scum!!
