Sir Keir Starmer has been forced into a major reshuffle of his cabinet after Angela Rayner quit over home tax scandal.
Ms Rayner stood down as Deputy Prime Minister and Housing Secretary, admitting she failed to pay £40,000 in stamp duty when buying her new flat near Brighton.
In a letter to Sir Keir she said: “I deeply regret my decision to not seek additional specialist tax advice given both my position as Housing Secretary and my complex family arrangements. I take full responsibility for this error.”
She is the fifth senior Labour figure to lose their job over allegations of misconduct since the party came to power last July.
Below we look at the other ministers who have already fallen:
Homelessness Minister Rushanara Ali
The Homelessness Minister quit last month after being accused of kicking tenants out of a house she owns in east London and then significantly hiking the rent.
The Bethnal Green and Stepney MP ended her tenants' fixed-term contract to sell the property, but then re-listed it for rent at £700 a month more within six months - a practice the Labour Government is currently trying to outlaw under its Renters' Rights Bill.
A former tenant said she was sent an email in November giving four months' notice that her lease would not be renewed. Shortly after she and the three other tenants had moved out, the house was re-listed at the much higher rent.
In a letter to the prime minister Ali insisted that she had "at all times” followed “all relevant legal requirements".
But she said remaining in her role would be a "distraction from the ambitious work of this government".
Treasury Minister Tulip Siddiq
The anti-corruption minister resigned amid growing pressure over her involvement in a Bangladeshi corruption probe.
Siddiq was named in an investigation into claims her family embezzled up to £3.9 billion from infrastructure spending in the Asian country.
The Hampstead and Highgate MP’s aunt is the former Bangladeshi prime minister Sheikh Hasina who fled into exile after being deposed last year.
The Awami League leader is alleged to have ordered a deadly crackdown on student-led protests in which up to 1,400 people died, according to UN investigators.
Siddiq, who’s role as Economic Secretary to the Treasury included tackling corruption in UK financial markets, also came under intense scrutiny over her use of London homes linked to her aunt's allies.
She referred herself to the Prime Minister's Standards Adviser. Sir Laurie said he had "not identified evidence of improprieties" but it was "regrettable" that the Labour MP had not been more aware of the "potential reputational risks" of the ties to her aunt.
Siddiq resigned in January, saying that continuing in her role would be "a distraction" to the government. She has denied all the allegations against her.
Health minister Andrew Gwynne
Gwynne was sacked when offensive WhatsApp messages, including one in which he wished an elderly constituent dead, were leaked.
He was also suspended from the Labour Party over the scandal in February and remains an Independent MP.
The MP for Gorton and Denton insulted constituents, fellow MPs and councillors in the messaging group named “Trigger Me Timbers”.
In one message he said he hoped a 72-year-old woman would soon be dead after she complained to her local councillor about bin collections.
Gwynne apologised for the comments, describing them as "badly misjudged".
He added that he understood the Prime Minister’s decision to sack him and said he would continue to support the party while suspended.
A government spokesperson said at the time that Sir Keir Starmer was "determined to uphold high standards of those in public office" and "will not hesitate to take action against any minister who fails to meet these standards".
Transport Secretary Louise Haigh
Louise Haigh was the first figure in Sir Keir’s Government to resign over a scandal.
She quit as Transport Secretary in November after it emerged she pleaded guilty to a fraud offence a decade ago.
Haigh admitted telling police in 2013 that her work mobile phone had been stolen during a mugging, but she later found it had not been taken and failed to tell officers.
She was handed a conditional discharge by magistrates over the incident, which happened before she became an MP.
The then 37-year-old said her appointment as the “youngest ever” woman cabinet minister “remains one of the proudest achievements of my life”.
