A star of Good Morning Britain has sparked outrage with a social media post about Angela Rayner‘s latest scandal. The Deputy Prime Minister has referred herself to the standards watchdog after admitting that she didn’t pay enough tax on a flat purchase.
The Deputy Prime Minister and Housing Secretary said arrangements at her family home in Greater Manchester meant she should have paid a higher rate. She denied she had tried to dodge the extra tax, blaming the “mistake” on initial legal advice that failed to “properly take account” of the situation. The politician says she has now contacted HMRC to work out the tax she needs to pay, and referred herself for investigation by the PM’s standards adviser. However, Rayner is still facing heavy criticism, with endless calls for her to resign.

But now, Narinder Kaur, who often appears on Good Morning Britain as a panellist, has shared her own thoughts on the matter as she backed the Labour politician. Posting to X/Twitter, the broadcaster defiantly admitted: “I stand with Angela.”
She continued: “She made a mistake. She is rectifying it. End of.
“I understand this seems like double standards, but I’ve personally never seen a male MP be this sorry… they deny, deny, deny. I want a future PM who is honest and accountable. The right wing are PETRIFIED of how politically effective she can be.”
Some of Narinder’s 59,000 followers were left outraged as they hit back at her comments. One fumed: “Stand with Rayner because she’s a Labour and lefty. Blimey Narinder you are such a hypocrite: if she were a Tory you would be demanding her resignation.”
Another echoed: “Yeah, funny when it’s a conservative or someone you disagree with, it’s resign, they are disgraceful, but when it’s one of your leftie pals and hero, it’s ‘oh, they’ve made a mistake’. You’re a hypocrite and the worst kind.”
A third shared: “Given your hypocritical stance on so many things, seeing you defend the indefensible cones as NO surprise.”
Someone else ranted: “Something happens, it’s obvious to everyone that it’s bad. No one supports it…… Narinder ‘I support them, they didn’t know it was wrong…blah, blah, blah’. You literally take the most contrarian approach to EVERYTHING! The problem definitely is…..you.”
