Angela Rayner resigned as deputy prime minister and housing secretary amid an investigation into her tax affairs linked to an £800,000 flat in Hove, East Sussex. Nigel Farage moved his Reform UK keynote earlier to address the resignation and accused the government of entitlement and hypocrisy.

Farage also attacked Sir Keir Starmer's cabinet as largely unqualified and used the controversy to underscore his party's criticism of the current administration's fitness to govern.
