英国副首相安吉拉·雷纳因房产税少缴辞职

摘要

安吉拉·雷纳在调查发现她在购房印花税上少缴4万英镑后辞职。

安吉拉·雷纳已辞去英国副首相、住房大臣及工党副领袖职务,此前一项独立调查发现她在购房印花税上少缴了4万英镑。

由道德顾问劳里·马格纳斯爵士领导的调查得出结论,雷纳出于善意行事,但未能达到所需的道德标准,未寻求适当的税务建议。

在致首相基尔·斯塔默的辞职信中,雷纳表示:“我对这一错误负全部责任。”

雷纳的离职引发内阁改组,外交大臣大卫·拉米被任命为新任副首相兼司法大臣。

斯塔默首相对雷纳的辞职表示遗憾,写道:“我对你只有钦佩,对你在政治上的成就怀有极大的尊重。”

雷纳以其工人阶级背景和直言不讳的性格著称,现已回到后座议员位置,预计将继续倡导对富人征收更高税收。

她的辞职正值工党政府面临支持率下降和内部动荡的艰难时期,距离即将到来的十一月预算案仅有数月时间。
