Rayner seeks advice, gets it wrong on tax, is hounded unmercifully by the media and resigns.
Farage (master of the scabby tax evasion) sets up company to avoid paying tax, avoids tax on house by using loophole of partner and gets lauded by the media??
Which of them is the most moral?
The former banker supposedly representing Clacton but who spends most of his time supporting Trump and making a fortune on the far-right gravy train circuit
Or the working class mum who calls the Tories scum????
He’s pardoning his supporters and patrons right left and centre (mainly on the far-right!). All you have to do is vociferously support MAGA or donate money to Trump!
Committing fraud? – No problem!
Stealing from charities? – No problem!
Massive tax evasion? – No problem!
Massive bribery? – No problem!
Insurrection? – No problem!
Attacking police officers? – No Problem!
Just imagine if these billionaires started paying the millions they owed – we’d have more than enough for the schools and hospitals.
So why do they scapegoat the poor??
They should be going after the rich and close all those loopholes!
Billionaire Trump has paid less tax than a nurse!!
What happens if a nurse doesn’t pay his/her taxes?
Elon Musk, who likes to call the beneficiaries of federal spending the “parasite class,” runs corporations that have pocketed $38 billion in taxpayer-funded subsidies, loans and contracts .
Is it the people carving an existence on subsistence levels?
Or is it the Billionaires creaming off billions by exploiting the poor or gaining huge lucrative government contracts?
Mind you I wasn’t the chancellor of the exchequer handling the tax for the entire country and in the entire course of my forty-year working life I haven’t got close to a sum total of £5 million. My entire earnings of a lifetime in education come to a quarter of what Zahawi tried to fiddle!!
What the hell are these Tory Ministers earning?? What sort of world do these Eton boys live in?
Then Johnson with an £800,000 loan? What the hell is that about? Then pulling in millions from speaking, a fortune from newspaper articles and a projected £3,500,000 from his memoirs.
How on earth can they relate to a nurse, teacher or train driver? No wonder they see us a plebby scum.
TAX EVASION IS THEFT!!
The trouble is we’ve become used to this amazing level of Sleaze and Corruption. It’s become the norm. They have been creaming off billions for so long that we’re used to it!
Millions for greedy tories but not a penny for nurses, ambulance drivers, teachers, civil servants or the poor. The greed is out of control.
How about levelling up?? Give us all £5 million!!
Excerpt from Guardian, Polly Toynbee today.
“The past few days have provided ample reminders of what happens when the very rich take control. The stench emanating from this government reprises John Major’s last days of “sleaze”. But the sums of money back then look paltry compared to the extraordinary finances of the multimillionaires who now fill the Tory benches.
Nadhim Zahawi’s mysterious “error” in failing to pay capital gains tax landed him with a walloping 30% penalty; he agreed to repay an estimated £5m reportedly while chancellor, collecting everyone else’s taxes. No normal citizen could be “careless” about such a sum, so it’s time for Rishi Sunak to come clean about exactly what he knew about Zahawi’s tax affairs when appointing him party chair. Zahawi had been nominated for a gong in the new year honours list, but following the usual due diligence, his name did not appear, reports the Sun on Sunday.
Many will remember his startling expenses claim 10 years ago, when he was obliged to pay back money wrongly claimed for heating his horses’ stables. He declared himself “mortified” at that “error” concerning a £5,000 bill, so presumably he feels a thousand times more mortified over an error a thousand times greater. Since he claims that HMRC called his tax non-payments “careless and not deliberate”, let’s see the correspondence – as there was nothing “careless” about his multiple legal threats to Dan Neidle of Tax Policy Associates, who investigated his tax affairs.”
(I must say Dan Neidle is a pretty odd looking bloke!)Zahawi, Sunak, Johnson: this is rule by plutocrat. It’s like a stench that’s worse each day | Polly Toynbee | The Guardian

How come ordinary people have to pay tax on every penny they earn and if they don’t they are hauled in front of the courts, while millionaires, bankers, sportsmen and celebrities, pulling in millions every year, get away with paying next to nothing?
Does this sound fair?
Does the system only work for the rich?? Too bloody right!!
Tax evaders, like that conman Trump, should be locked up! No wonder he didn’t want his cheating tax evasion out in public.
He’s had bank accounts in China, the UK, Ireland and the Caribbean. That’s where he’s been stashing his loot.
Tax evasion, inciting insurrection, interfering with the democratic process, shady deals, Russian intrigue, the Mafia. Which one’s it going to be?? Maybe all of them.
The sooner this lying conman is locked away the better!
The irony is that this spoilt brat of an overprivileged billionaire had the audacity to call Hilary Clinton crooked!!
All handed out to Tory chums with foreign tax havens.
Why don’t the media challenge them? Because they control the media!!
Give money to a nurse or teacher and they spend it in the country and it helps the economy. Give millions to a Tory donor and they stash it away in a tax haven abroad to avoid paying tax on it!
You won’t find this reported in the media because the media is owned by the Tories.
I watch this painful process in disbelief.
Mafia connections?
Dodgy business deals?
Russian connections?
The incitement to the storming of the Capitol?
The tax evasion?
The lies?
The destroying of various dossiers with information of his wrongdoings?
The storage of top secret documents in his home in insecure storage?
The taking home of incredibly secret documents putting countries at risk?
The attempt to pressure officials to steal an election?
Surely any one of these is sufficient to lock him away forever?
What is it?
The threat of civil war?
