I welcome HMRC’s conclusion, which has cleared me of any wrongdoing.
I have been exonerated by HMRC of the accusation that I deliberately sought to avoid tax.
When purchasing a home of my own with a mortgage, I did not own any other property and had no personal financial interest in the court-instructed trust set up to manage my son’s financial award. I was advised by experts that I should pay stamp duty at the standard rate.
I set out to pay the correct amount of tax. I took reasonable care and acted in good faith, based on the expert advice I received, and HMRC has accepted this.
I have always sought to act with integrity, and I believe politicians should be held to high standards - that is why I resigned from government and cooperated fully with HMRC.
I wanted to ensure that I paid every penny that I owed, and have done so. I am relieved that my family can now move on - and that I can get on with my job.
If she was a southern male the outcome of this situation would be very different!

Those calling for Angela Rayner to resign is beyond ridiculous. Right Wingers frothing at the mouth over on @SkyNews … as long as Chris Philp is still a sitting MP, they can all shut up.

This is terrifying
The normative family, the mother and father sticking together for the sake of the children, is the only basis for a safe and functioning society.
Marriage is not only about you, it's a public act to live for the sake of someone else.

Hi @SouthernRailUK @TLRailUK @TfL you decide to cancel the 07:20 from south Croydon to London Bridge and then make the 07:24 a five coach train! Several people unable to get on the train ……. Why??? You know it’s a busy station - you see the stats - make it make sense 🙄
