While Fed Governor Lisa Cook attempts to litigate her way out of an alleged mortgage fraud (for which the Trump administration has delivered the receipts), The U.K.’s deputy prime minister, Angela Rayner, resigned this morning following an ‘ethical’ error on her home purchase tax payments.
Rayner, who admitted on Wednesday that she did not pay enough tax on her purchase of an apartment in Hove, on England’s south coast, earlier this summer, said the report found that she acted in good faith, but that, crucially, she should have sought more specific tax advice.
“I take full responsibility for this error,” she said in her resignation letter to Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
Of course, this is very different from Lisa Cook’s playing of the race-card, not addressing the actual crime she is accused of, and distracting from her actual fraud by claiming it’s a witch hunt.
As AP reports, in the U.K., levies are charged on property purchases, with higher charges due on more expensive homes and secondary residences.
Reports have suggested that Rayner saved 40,000 pounds by not paying the appropriate levy, known as a stamp duty, on her 800,000-pound ($1 million) purchase.
