Farage rules as Rayner resigns

Angela Rayner has finally resigned as Deputy Prime Minister and Housing Secretary, after days of ever-increasing pressure over the underpaying of stamp duty on the purchase of a second home in Hove.

Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley bring you today’s Daily T from Reform UK’s party conference in Birmingham, where they spoke to deputy leader Richard Tice, Reform’s newest MP Sarah Pochin, and supporter and comedian Jim Davidson, as the news of Rayner’s resignation spread around the conference hall.

They also analyse Nigel Farage’s big speech, where he declared that Labour “are not fit to govern” and that “there is every chance now of a general election happening in 2027”. He went on to introduce the party’s latest defector - former Conservative MP and Culture Secretary, Nadine Dorries.
