In a stunning admission that has rocked the Labour government, UK Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner has confessed to underpaying stamp duty on her luxurious £800,000 seaside flat in Hove, East Sussex. The revelation, which came after days of intense media scrutiny and mounting pressure, sees Rayner agreeing to cough up the additional tax while referring herself to the Prime Minister's ethics adviser for investigation.
But this mea culpa raises serious questions: How did a senior politician, who also serves as Housing Secretary, manage to "accidentally" dodge around £40,000 in taxes? And does this point to deliberate fraud and deception?

Tax does have to be taxing.
