28:31Now PlayingToday, Angela Rayner has resigned from her role as deputy prime minister after an investigation concluded she had breached the UK governments' ministerial code by underpaying stamp duty on a flat in Hove. The Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer accepted her resignation "with real sadness".
The report into Rayner’s conduct concluded she had ‘acted with integrity’ but had failed to meet the standards of the ministerial code by not looking for expert tax advice. Her resignation triggered a major cabinet reshuffle with former foreign secretary, David Lammy replacing her as deputy prime minister. Her resignation is also likely to spark a contest for the role of deputy leader of the Labour party.
James Cook is joined by Chris Mason and Laura Kuenssberg, to chat who’s in, who’s out, and how ‘Phase Two’ is shaping up for the Government.
