Rayner's 'judgement day' and 'Dorries quits Tories'16 hours ago Share Save Share SaveThe fallout from Angela Rayner's stamp duty admission continues to dominate Friday's papers. The paper reports the PM is "prepared to sack" Rayner if his ethics adviser's findings go against her in his investigation. The paper says Rayner's stamp duty row has deepened after lawyers denied giving her tax advice and the PM refused to rule out firing her. The Daily Telegraph, which first reported the story about Angela Rayner's stamp duty underpayment, uses its editorial to say she "has to go". The i newspaper calls this "judgement day", while the Daily Star - with a nod to the graffiti outside Angela Rayner's flat - says "the writing's on the wall".
