I don’t know what people are so upset about. She only failed to pay a little bit of tax. Hundreds of bankers and multinationals so the same and nobody says anything.
Oh wait… 😅

If it was a Tory they probably would have refused to resign and they would have kept their job.
Very true that people should pay their taxes, I agree with that. So maybe Rayner should have been allowed to pay the correct tax, and any penalties for late payment, and then she could have kept her job.
Probably a fair outcome if I’m honest.
However politically speaking Labour know they can bang on about “rich people not paying tax” as an election slogan. This, apparently, is such a powerful weapon in their arsenal that any insinuating that the Labour top brass are also tax evaders cannot be tolerated. If she was allowed to simply pay back the tax plus penalties then this blunts future use of the “rich people pay your taxes” weapon. It’s a shame really but that’s politics.
