Angela Rayner has resigned as housing secretary and deputy prime minister following the admission she underpaid stamp duty on her £800,000 flat in Hove. Her resignation also extends to her role as deputy Labour leader.

• Sir Laurie Magnus, the prime minister’s ethics adviser, concluded Rayner breached the ministerial code, though she acted with integrity.
• Rayner acknowledged a "mistake" in not seeking further expert tax advice, stating she takes "full responsibility for this error."
• Her departure creates a significant void, particularly for Labour's pledge to build 1.5 million homes by the end of the Parliament.
