Breaking News: Angela Rayner Consults Key Figures on Controversial Flat Purchase Amid Growing Scrutiny Angela Rayner, the UK's Deputy Prime Minister, has admitted to underpaying stamp duty on her £800,000 flat in Hove, East Sussex. She consulted three individuals about the purchase, including one expert in conveyancing and two experts on trust law. Rayner claims she acted on initial legal advice that failed to "properly take account" of the situation, leading to a £40,000 underpayment. However, it remains unclear if these advisors were aware of the full details of the trust set up to fund care for her son. The controversy has been mounting in recent weeks, with reports emerging of Rayner's alleged attempt to dodge higher tax rates on her second home. The Deputy Prime Minister denies any wrongdoing and has alerted HMRC to the underpayment. As the situation unfolds, it is unclear what further action will be taken by HMRC or if Rayner will face any consequences for the underpayment.
