Скачать или смотреть Should Angela Rayner be sacked? LBC callers debate

Shelagh Fogarty's callers discuss whether Angela Rayner should be sacked after the Deputy PM admitted to not paying enough tax.

Rayner has been under intense pressure over her tax affairs after reports about her purchase of the property.

She was reported to have saved £40,000 in stamp duty on the flat because she removed her name from the deeds of a family property in her Ashton-under-Lyne constituency, meaning the Hove property is the only property she owns.

In a statement on Wednesday, she said she had taken legal advice when she bought the south coast flat, which suggested she was "liable to pay standard stamp duty" but had then sought "further advice from a leading tax counsel" following headlines about the arrangement.

She learned that the initial advice had been inaccurate and that she was liable to pay additional stamp duty.
