LONDON - British finance minister Rishi Sunak considered whether he should resign this week after a storm of criticism over his wealthy wife's tax status, the Sunday Times newspaper reported.
While the status was legal, critics said the arrangement was incompatible with Sunak's decision to raise taxes on workers and employers from April 6 at a time when high inflation is causing a cost-of-living squeeze for many households. Sunak said on Friday that questions over his wife's tax arrangements were politically motivated attempts to damage him.The Sunday Times said some people close to Sunak - once considered a potential future prime minister - still thought he might walk away from politics.
