Angela Rayner QUITS after sleaze report into property dealings as Labour descends into chaos
Angela Rayner dramatically exited the Cabinet today after a sleaze report into her property dealings.
Ms Rayner is understood to be leaving her post as Deputy PM after Sir Laurie Magnus delivered his verdict to Keir Starmer.
The crucial moment came after furious lawyers accused Ms Rayner of trying to make them 'scapegoats' for her underpaying tens of thousands of pounds in stamp duty.
Ms Rayner's hold on her job had been looking increasingly tenuous after Sir Keir refused to rule out sacking her yesterday, insisting he would 'act' on the findings from Sir Laurie.
The departure is another massive blow for the PM, already struggling to stabilise his government after a torrid summer of immigration protests. While he can remove Ms Rayner from Cabinet, she has a separate elected mandate as Labour's deputy leader.
The PM's official spokesman confirmed that Sir Keir has now received the report from Sir Laurie.
'The Prime Minister will read it and act upon it. He has a reputation for being comprehensive and quick,' the spokesman said.
