Angela Rayner has resigned from Government after Sir Keir Starmer's ethics adviser found she had breached the ministerial code over her underpayment of stamp duty on a seaside flat.Sir Laurie Magnus said the outgoing deputy prime minister had "acted with integrity", but failed to "heed the caution" contained within legal advice she received when buying the £800,000 property in Hove.The resignation marks a major blow for the Prime Minister and it is understood a wider reshuffle will now take place later on Friday.Ms Rayner had referred herself to the standards watchdog for investigation after she admitted she had paid £40,000 less surcharge than she should have done on the purchase in May.
