In an interview with The i Paper, Zack Polanski said it was right for Angela Rayner to resign as Deputy Prime Minister for not paying enough stamp duty on her flat, but that, in his opinion, what emerged this week about the Reform UK leader’s tax arrangements is worse.

Referring to Rayner quitting, Polanski said, “If this is supposedly a resignation issue, I’m looking forward to seeing Nigel Farage’s letters [of resignation] in the next few hours.”
On Wednesday, Farage said about Rayner: “If a case like that was me, you’d all be demanding that I resign. I don’t quite see how she survives.”
Farage added, “It screams entitlement. It screams to a government that, despite all the promises that it would be a new, different kind of politics, is as bad if not worse than the one that went before.”
Polanski said of Rayner, “The fact she has resigned demonstrates to me that she probably had something to resign for. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have resigned.” But he added, “I do feel compassion for the first part of the story. I heard that she had a disabled son, so things got complicated. I think that speaks to what a mess our taxation system is and what a mess the rules are.”
“If the Secretary of State for Housing supposedly doesn’t understand her own rules, it suggests there needs to be clarity of the rules,” said Polanski. “If she has lied and the rules were very clear and Keir Starmer knew that, I’m actually not interested in what Angela Rayner has done today, I’m interested in what the Prime Minister is going to do next, because that would be outrageous.”
Farage’s spokesperson told the Guardian in response to its report on his tax affairs: “Thorn in the Side Ltd has traded for 15 years and has a variety of interests. It renders the services of several contractors and is a properly functioning company.”
