Angela Rayner dramatically exited the Cabinet today after a sleaze report into her property dealings found she did break the ministerial code.
Ms Rayner has left her posts as Deputy PM, Housing Secretary and deputy Labour leader after Sir Laurie Magnus delivered his verdict to Keir Starmer.
Sir Laurie concluded that Ms Rayner had acted with 'integrity' but still fell short of the highest standards required in government.
In a letter to Sir Keir, she said that she was resigning from government and her party job, stressing the 'strain' that the furore had put on her family.
The crucial moment came after furious lawyers accused Ms Rayner of trying to make them 'scapegoats' for her underpaying tens of thousands of pounds in stamp duty.
