Genie Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Pressure on Rishi “lead with integrity” Sunak to sack Zahawi over his failed attempt at multi-million pound tax fraud. I suspect Zahawi will “resign” in the coming days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannedfromHandV Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 I’m counting down the days until we’re no longer subjected to having to hear Dominic Raab trying to defend whichever PM he’s helping to prop up.

Today it’s that Sunak shouldn’t resign because the both times he’s been issued fixed penalty notices it was “inadvertent”. Yeah no shit moron, whenever anyone is caught doing anything illegal they’re caught inadvertently, no one tries to be caught and fined for something. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should resign because of how thick he is to have done it, film it and then publish it. No excuses, he's as thick as a plank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markavfc40 Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Ex health secretary and chancellor Sajid Javid saying today that the NHS should charge people for GP visits and attending A&E citing Norway and Sweden where you pay £20 to see a GP and Ireland where you pay £66 to attend A&E without a referral. Taking out the fact that we already pay via our taxes I wouldn't want to live in a country where needing to see a GP or attend A&E could come down to how much money someone has in the bank. I can see why as a wealthy Tory he'd be happy with that though. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 (edited) Quote Tory Party Chairman Nadhim Zahawi says an error in his tax affairs was accepted by HMRC as having been "careless and not deliberate". In a statement, he said he wanted to address "confusion about my finances" after claims he tried to avoid tax and had to pay it back. He said he had chosen to "settle the matter and pay what they said was due, which was the right thing to do". Accidentally not paying £3m in tax due to a complex arrangement of offshore accounts, it’s easily done. Let’s all just move on shall we? Link I agree with the last part, paying what is due when caught is considered the best thing to do especially as the alternative tends to be jail.

Popular Post chrisp65 Posted January 21, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 21, 2023 Trouble is, when a company you state has nothing to do with you has shares held by a company that has nothing to do with you, and they give you a gift that is nothing to do with sales income or shares income, it’s easy to inadvertently not pay millions in tax. Who amongst us hasn’t fallen in to the same silly confusing accidental trap? Thief. Liar. Tory scum. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 This explains why the reporting of this story was handled delicately Quote The Conservative Party chairman Nadhim Zahawi tried to stop The Independent exposing that he was being investigated over his tax affairs by threatening to sue if we published. Mr Zahawi, who was chancellor at the time, repeatedly said he had paid “all due taxes” and would take legal action if we reported that he had been investigated.

ml1dch Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 (edited) All above board and just another accidental oversight I'm sure. To be honest it's always a bit of a relief when a fraudulent / money-stealing Tory outs themselves as such, because it means that's their vice and it's less likely that they are one of the sex crime Tories. Because they're obviously going to be one or the other. Edited January 21, 2023 by ml1dch 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so disingenuous to cherry pick one thing from another nation and say "well it works there" without considering the eco system that one policy sits within. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juanpabloangel18 Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Re Johnson / Sharp £800k. Their power is so entrenched they're barely even bothering to hide the brazen corruption, self-dealing, conflict of interests any more. I really hope there is some legal consequences for all this down the line but, who am I kidding. In case you're wondering, this is the BBC's response 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
