Great Britain: Government crisis in London: Stranders Vice resigns

Great Britain is in a government crisis with an uncertain outcome due to a tax affair by the deputy Prime Minister. Vice government leader Angela Rayner declared her resignation at noon, and even while Prime Minister Keir Strander was working on cabinet recovery, the right -wing populists declared themselves the big winner of the turbulent hours.

Because of the “Message from West Minister”, Brexit’s foreemer Nigel Farage made his speech at the annual conference of his reform party leading in surveys. It was clear that a cabinet full of “unqualified persons” leads the country. Stranders government is “just as bad, if not even worse” than the previous conservatives.

Rayner’s resignation is a massive setback for Stranders Social Democratic Labor Party. She was considered a figurehead of the left party wing and as the hope of a party that is currently weakening in the surveys. It became doom that she had paid too little real estate transfer tax.

Strander reacts with personnel red

The government had already come under pressure because of a stuttering economy, increasing living costs and growing dissatisfaction with high immigration numbers. The Rayner affair triggered another quake to which the strands reacted with a large recruitment.

As the Downing Street announced in the evening, the previous Foreign Minister David Lammy, as the new Minister of Justice, is the successor to Rayner as Vice. The new Foreign Minister is the previous Minister of the Interior Yvette Cooper, whose post received the previous Minister of Justice Shabana Mahmood.

The crisis profiteer is right -wing populist Farage

The resignation of the politician on the first day of the reform conference fits the picture. Farage could be celebrated several times on the exhibition center in Birmingham. His first appearance on the podium was accompanied by pyrotechnics. The 61-year-old seems to like himself as a mixture of rock star and politician who supposedly can do everything better.

The Brexit pioneer has been driving the government in front of it for months. In the Farage “100 polls”, reform was recently the strongest party. In British majority voting rights, however, the strongest party nationwide does not necessarily become the strongest parliamentary group in parliament.

“It happens,” Farage called to his followers during his speech with a view to the Rayner resignation. The reform boss plays with the fear of the British population, especially when it comes to migration. He had repeatedly criticized Strander’s government course or moved in ridiculous. Now Farage of new elections expires in 2027 instead of 2029. He sees a “split” within the Labor party, which has to fill the post behind Strander.

The party had led the party from the left under his predecessor Jeremy Corbyn far into the political center. Rayner was a bridge to a deeply suspicious left -wing wing.

Politician with high credibility in the working class

Rayner had come under a lot of pressure in the past few days. She had admitted that when asked about the amount of the real estate transfer tax for a property, she had relied on advice that turned out to be wrong. She had asked for an investigation to see whether she had violated the behavioral standards for cabinet members. This came to the conclusion that there was a violation.

Rayner is considered a quick -witted and talented politician who is not afraid of an argument. Occasionally, she shot out, for example when she described the political opponents from the Tory party as “scum” – and had to apologize.

As a minister, she was responsible for living and municipal affairs, among other things. Her modest background, above all, gave her credibility in the British Workers’ Party as a teenage mother, who grew up in a social housing and had worked up a union with a lot of diligence. Her northern English dialect also contributed to this call. She is already a grandmother at the age of 45.

Rayner also became the goal of sexist allegations from political opponents. The tabloid “Mail on Sunday” once reported that Members of the Conservative Party had complained that it had tried to irritate the then conservative prime minister in parliament with her legs. The episode triggered a debate about sexism in British politics. Rayner received a lot of backing – also from politicians from the opposing camp.
