‘It’s a disgrace’: Rayner’s constituents call for her resignation after stamp duty row

Ashton-under-Lyne residents vent their anger as Rayner admits she paid incorrect amount of stamp duty on second home

“I’ve got to pay my taxes, and so has she, it’s as simple as that,” Andrew Davies, 57, said, a common view on the streets of Angela Rayner’s Ashton-under-Lyne constituency.

On Wednesday, the deputy prime minister acknowledged for the first time that she had mistakenly not paid the correct amount of stamp duty when she bought a flat in Hove earlier this year.
