    What a hypocritical statement. Pay their fair share and this bumbling fool isn’t paying his. Hilarious.

      Compared to MPs expenses scandal, or Farage’s undeclared £5 million (plus his dodgy house buying tactic) and their denial of wring doing or even why people might have an issue each step of the way him owning up, accepting responsibility and paying what’s owed and the fine is very much “paying his fair share”.

      Could he do better? Yes, of course. Is he doing better that most non-Green national level policians? Seems to be.

        On par with every other lying politician is a more apt description. There’s been so many lies.

          I mean, he’s a former lib dem not the second coming of Rosa Luxembourg and Simone Weil.

          And in response to your other one, politicians who aren’t right wing tend to get much more flak for these behaviours.

        Don’t forget everyone shat the bed over Rayner’s recent tax fuckup, so it’s only fair.
