Deputy Prime Minister Steps Down After Ethics Breach Over Property Tax
The deputy prime minister has resigned following an investigation by the prime minister’s ethics adviser, which concluded that she violated ministerial rules by failing to pay the full stamp duty on her £800,000 coastal property.
The inquiry found that the deputy PM had underpaid the required tax when purchasing the flat, a breach of the ministerial code. In response to the findings, she chose to leave her position.
This marks another high-profile resignation linked to ethical concerns in government. The prime minister’s office has not yet named a successor.
