Angela Rayner Stamp Duty and Resignation
Angela Rayner’s case highlights a bigger issue than one politician’s finances. It raises questions about trust, accountability, and fairness in the political system. While the courts or HMRC may decide whether any wrongdoing occurred, the court of public opinion has already drawn its verdict: the public demands equality before the law. No one, regardless of their position, should be able to bypass responsibilities that ordinary citizens would face the full force of the law for. If the rules apply to us, they must apply to them, too.
