That shite has got to be so counter-productive it's like shooting yourself in the foot.
Rishi Sunak's wife Akshata Murty defends non-dom tax status
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-61017993
Chancellor Rishi Sunak's wife, Akshata Murty, has revealed she has non-domiciled status for UK tax purposes.
The status means Ms Murty legally does not have to pay UK tax on income she earns outside Britain.
But Ms Murty's spokeswoman told the BBC she pays all the tax that is legally required in the UK.
Labour said it was "staggering" Mr Sunak's family "may have been benefitting from tax reduction schemes".
The party's shadow Treasury minister Tulip Siddiq called on the chancellor to "urgently explain how much he and his family have saved on their own tax bill at the same time he was putting taxes up for millions of working families".
The story - first reported in the Independent - comes on the day the National Insurance rise came into force.
The government says the increase will raise £39bn which can be spent on health and social care.

You better be careful or Rishi will come and smash you.
Really starting to dislike that Rishi Sunak cnut, was just on crying about his wife being abused because people dare question her links to Russia about a stakeholder in £400m business, but they’re free to sanction Abramovich now looks like she doesn’t pay tax either after Sunak hikes the NI tax for millions in a cost of living crisis. He plays the nice guy but I don’t think he’s very good at all.
The tories really are boiling the frog here aren't they.
Learnt from the poll tax disaster and are killing the working classes through subtler methods, while hiding it with minimum wage and personal tax allowance increases.

The chancellor's wife has non-dom status. And it's only coming out now?
What the hell are the press doing?
This has been the case all along. I don't know why people fall for the Tories trick so often of, the king is dead, long live the King!
And removing any "objectionable" viewpoints in the media e.g. C4 and also the threats and putting Tories in charge of the BBC. Controlling the narrative.

So it seems that super Rishi’s goose is cooked?
Any gets on who we are getting next? I’ve got a feeing Murdoch is going to reward Gove at some point.

Can't wait to see how Starmer gets him through this one.

Rishi Sunak demands inquiry into Akshata Murty tax leak

Rishi Sunak demands inquiry into Akshata Murty tax leak
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-61055789
The leak will have been from number 10 so good luck getting an inquiry
yeah that's the important thing here, who leaked it.I think that’s sort of his point no?
I’m thoroughly enjoying watching him squirm right now.
So with Rishi’s chances of ever being PM now over, are we looking at Liz Fecking Truss?
Apparently they are having an inquiry and are currently blaming a 'labour supporting civil servant' .

Rees-Mogg.
From the moment Rees-Mogg emerged, you just knew the plan was to have him presiding over a dystopian, crumbling, divided, miserable Britain.
Really dont see him becoming PM, will be Maggie cos player
Feels like she's been keeping a very low profile lately, although that didn't work long for Rishi, who was quiet during partygate, then got hammered with his tax stuff. God knows what skeletons she has in her closet.
Who are the options beyond those two? Maybe some lesser known candidate emerges in the next year or so- doesn't look like Johnson is going anywhere in a hurry.
The absolute brass neck on these people. Wants to run the country, whilst his family not paying tax or being a permanent resident, but still own multiple houses here.
Wonder if Rishi will throw Boris under the bus. I suspect he has some dirt.
Can't wait until this Conservative circular firing squad is fully assembled and ready to discharge!
Werent some of the pictures of Boris in the garden during one of the partygate scandals taken from Rishi's office?

I don't like agreeing with Johnson this much in such a short space of time.
Grow up.
Not the message I would run in the next election. Maybe something about NHS funding instead.
Great election slogan. Not quite as catchy as "yes we can" or "get Brexit done".
Rather ironic that your have such a childish response.
No answer for the legitimate questions raised about Starmers trustworthiness or lack of policies then?

A few months ago, when people, even on this forum were lining him up as the replacement for Boris, I was stating my concerns about Sunak.
He became popular simply by giving away billions of public money.
Some through furlough.
And lots to organisations who were supposed to be providing PPE for example, some of which was hardly value for money at best.
You really do need to judge the performance of someone over a reasonable period of time. And not just a few months chucking public money around like there was no tomorrow.
And now we are starting to see the inevitable cracks developing.
