安吉拉·雷纳因印花税少缴争议辞职

摘要

英国副首相安吉拉·雷纳因购房印花税少缴事件辞职,促使首相基尔·斯塔默进行重大内阁改组。

英国副首相兼住房大臣安吉拉·雷纳在承认其购买位于东萨塞克斯郡霍夫的一处房产时少缴印花税后辞职。雷纳承认她未能按正确金额缴纳这套价值80万英镑公寓的税款,导致她同时辞去了部长职务和工党副领袖职位。

争议起因于雷纳支付了3万英镑印花税,而根据该房产被归类为第二套住房,实际应缴税款为7万英镑。首相独立部长标准顾问劳里·马格纳斯爵士的调查得出结论,雷纳未寻求适当的税务建议,违反了部长守则。在辞职信中,雷纳对这一疏忽表示深切遗憾,并承担全部责任。

针对雷纳的辞职,首相基尔·斯塔默启动了重大内阁改组。大卫·拉米被任命为副首相兼司法大臣,伊薇特·库珀调任外交大臣,沙巴娜·马哈茂德接任内政大臣。这些变动是斯塔默在失去一位重要盟友后,努力稳定政府的举措之一。

雷纳的辞职是自2024年7月工党执政以来第五位因不当行为指控而离职的部长。这一系列辞职引发了对党内稳定性及其有效执政能力的担忧。

此事件也为反对党提供了政治弹药。改革英国党领袖奈杰尔·法拉奇批评政府,认为此次辞职反映了当前政府存在更广泛的问题。
