Angela Rayner was embarrassed on TalkTV as she was mocked in a brutal parody of her resignation.
TalkTV skewered former Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner after she announced her resignation for failing to pay the correct stamp duty on a seaside home in Brighton. She was found to have breached the ministerial code after underpaying around and £40,000 on her £800,000 seaside flat after she referred herself to the ethics advisor. She claimed she had made the decision based on the advice of her legal team, something which they later denied.
In her resignation letter, Rayner said she “deeply regrets” her decision not to get “additional specialist tax advice” over the purchase. But in a humiliating new blow, TalkTV presenters Andre Walker and Ash Gould conducted an inerview with a parody Angela Rayner as they stuck the knife into the disgraced former Deputy.

In the clip, ‘Angela Rayner‘, was seen with make-up streaks down her face as she sipped a glass of wine as she said: “As a proud woman from a working class background, I just want to say that I am very humbled by the position that I got myself into, it was a very proud moment in my life and and and I’m very pleased with how well I did in and out and how hard I had to work to get to where I got to.”
Andre hit back: “With respect, you didn’t work that hard, you took money out of the family trust in order to buy a holiday home in Brighton, that makes John Prescott look like Mother Teresa of Calcutta,” to which the parody Rayner responded: “I’m not across the details of quite how it happened.”
Fans rushed to the post to comment, as one said: “Her makeup team paint the streaks on to pretend she cried lmao.” Another added: “Almost got me.”
Following Rayner’s resignation, Prime Minister Keir Starmer responded in a letter saying he was “very sorry” that her time in government had ended this way. The same day, he sent shockwaves as he announced a major reshuffle in order to replace Rayner. David Lammy has become the new deputy prime minister and has also been appointed justice secretary.
Yvette Cooper is now foreign secretary while Shabana Mahmood becomes home secretary.
