No doubt some fool will still try to tell us Corbyn is weak.
Jeremy Corbyn has well and truly put the boot into into David Cameron over the latest revelations over his tax affairs, slamming him as “weasel-worded”.
In a statement following the Prime Minister’s admission that actually he had owned shares in an offshore trust, the Labour leader said: “It took five weasel-worded statements in five days for the Prime Minister to admit that he has personally profited from an undeclared Caribbean tax haven investment deal.
“His determination to conceal that arrangement over many years raises serious questions over public trust in his office and his willingness to be straight with the public.
“Tolerance of tax avoidance and tax havens, and inaction on tax evasion, is denying funds to the public purse and leads directly to cuts in services and benefits that are hurting millions of people in Britain.
“The Prime Minister has lost the trust of the British people. He must now give a full account of all his private financial dealings and make a statement to Parliament next week. Only complete openness from the Prime Minister, and decisive action against tax avoidance and evasion, can now deal with the issues at the heart of this scandal.”

Tory spin doctors must be on Valium by now trying to make Cameron look innocent! Of all the things to come and bite him on the bum this is the most poetic.
imprisonment for cameron is more suitable than resignation. its clear a deterrent is essential and his ‘explanation’ may yet be proven lies.
Others who object to Cameron’s accountability may likewise be doing the same ‘ crime’ as cameron and hiding the truth about screwing the tax payer.
Cameron is a caniving shit, he has lied to us the British people just to secure a place in our history books as the worse PM ever to walk into No10 Downing Street. He’s cheated on us all and some very harshly and so much so people have died because of him and his “Friends”.
Well put Philip.
Cameron is hanging on by his finger nails, it’s time he had a manicure.
Keep on putting the boot in Jeremy. Most of the country is right behind you on this one.
think about 30 years plus of his deceit. why????
he was advising thatcher re poll tax and deregulation including deregulating offshore shares ( which allowed tax evasion) and also regarding MP expenses as a top up of their salaries being outpaced by inflationary pressures. these areas should be investigated as Camerons activities may in fact be proven criminality whilst in office. what a testimony to the UK political systems I dont think!!!!!!
Tories are all privileged, money grabbing, inbred, perverted, twisted, arrogant, clueless, posh, bone idle wasters, what else would you expect from deceitful, pompous arsewipes!
