أقرت نائبة رئيس الوزراء البريطاني أنجيلا راينر، اليوم، بأنها لم تدفع الضريبة الكافية من أجل شراء منزل، وبأنها فكرت في الاستقالة من منصبها.
وبعد أسابيع من التكهنات الصحفية بشأن الضريبة التي تم دفعها عند شرائها شقة في منتجع هوف، على الساحل الجنوبي لإنجلترا، قالت راينر إنها أحالت نفسها إلى المستشار المستقل المعني بالمعايير الوزارية.
وأضافت راينر، التي كان واضحاً عليها الانفعال، أنها حصلت على نصائح ضريبية غير دقيقة بشأن عملية الشراء لمنزل بقيمة 800 ألف جنيه إسترليني ما يعادل (مليون دولار)، وتحدثت مع عائلتها بشأن الاستقالة من وظيفتها الحكومية.
وأوضحت أن التعقيدات المرتبطة بترتيبات المعيشة المعقدة، زادت بسبب طلاقها في عام 2023، وبتعرض ابنها لإعاقات ستظل مصاحبة له مدى الحيا؛ نتيجة لتعرضه لإصابة.
يذكر أن راينر من مواليد 28 مارس 1980 سياسية بريطانية ونقابية، شغلت منصب نائب رئيس وزراء المملكة المتحدة ووزيرة الدولة للإسكان والمجتمعات والحكومة المحلية منذ يوليو 2024. وهي نائبة زعيم حزب العمال منذ عام 2020، وعضوة في البرلمان عن حزب العمال والتعاونيات في أشتون أندر لاين منذ عام 2015.

British Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner admitted today that she did not pay enough tax to purchase a home and that she considered resigning from her position.
After weeks of media speculation regarding the tax paid when she bought an apartment in the resort of Hove on the southern coast of England, Rayner stated that she had referred herself to the independent advisor on ministerial standards.
Rayner, who appeared visibly emotional, added that she received inaccurate tax advice regarding the purchase of a home worth £800,000 (equivalent to $1 million), and discussed with her family the possibility of resigning from her government job.
She explained that the complexities associated with her complicated living arrangements were exacerbated by her divorce in 2023 and her son's disabilities, which will accompany him for life due to an injury.
It is worth noting that Rayner, born on March 28, 1980, is a British politician and trade unionist who has served as Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and Minister of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government since July 2024. She has been the Deputy Leader of the Labour Party since 2020 and has been a Member of Parliament for the Labour and Co-operative Party in Ashton-under-Lyne since 2015.
