The fallout from Angela Rayner’s stamp duty admission continues to dominate Friday’s papers. It’s “Judgement day” for the deputy prime minister, says the i. The paper reports the PM is “prepared to sack” Rayner if his ethics adviser’s findings go against her in his investigation. It adds that Sir Laurie Magnus’s report could be expected as soon as Friday.

The headline on the front page of the i Paper reads: "Judgement day for Rayner - with Starmer prepared to sack Deputy PM". — The fallout from Angela Rayner’s stamp duty admission continues to dominate Friday’s papers.

Rayner’s lawyers say they did not give her tax advice and are being made “scapegoats” in her tax scandal, according to the Times. The paper features the conveyancing firm that acted on the deputy PM’s behalf when she bought the Hove flat saying they did not advise her she was eligible for a lower rate of stamp duty. Rayner has said the taxation “mistake” was the result of incorrect legal advice which failed to “properly take account” of her circumstances. Alongside, the Princess of Wales is pictured during a visit to the Natural History Museum on Thursday.
