Our Nige joined in the howling to remove Angela Rayner after she fiddled the tax on the house she was buying. Nigel insisted she must resign! Now it appears he himself has been on the fiddle. Does this come as a shock to you? Nigel claimed he had bought a house in his constituency of Clacton, as MPs are supposed to do, many benefits attach to such houses. However, it now appears the £800,000 house, bought without a mortgage, meaning some rich person paid cash for it, was obtained by his present girlfriend. It is not in Nigel's name after all. So, has he bought a house? If she bought it, where did the money come from? Has he committed a crime, or failed parliaments rules? Certainly by this means he avoids around £44,000 in tax that would be paid had the house been in his name. This appears to be legal, but is it moral, in the same way he condemned Angela?
The thing to remember is that it has become normal for leading politicians to publish their tax returns, Nige has not done this and refuses to do so, I wonder why? Having made approximately £800,000 in speaking engagements across the world since being elected as an MP for Clacton, a place he does not live in big house or not, why is he afraid to publish his tax returns? Has he anything to hide? Is he perhaps just a shy wee boy? I wonder. Interestingly few mentions of this appear in the press that support him this morning, I wonder why?
I would publish my tax returns if demanded, probably in the publication called 'Paupers Times.'
