Dodgy Dave, Denis Skinner removed from the house

[Teddy Bear]

They're all at it, even lefties.

Ken Livingstone has gone on Russia Today to call for Cameron to be jailed over his taxes. That is the same Ken Livingstone who sheltered his earnings in a company so he could save £1,000-a-week in tax. Ken paid 21% corporation tax rate on £319,478 of earnings by invoicing to Silveta Ltd, instead of paying the 50% top rate of income tax. He also owned 99% of a similar company twice prosecuted for non-payment of taxes. Ken’s effective tax rate in 2012 was 14.5%. Today he laughably calls Cameron “the most hypocritical prime minister of my lifetime”…

Why do you think labour MPs are being relatively quiet. They are all at it. Only those that can hide their tax affairs abroad are having a pop. Namely the press, but then there is an agenda behind the attack.

Is that the same David Cameron who called Dennis Skinner "Jurassic park"? During pmqs?
That seems like a great use of taxpayers money, to mock an octogenarian for being old.

I wonder how much per minute pmqs costs the taxpayer?

[Culver Blue]

He's a man of principle !!

Whilst I'm glad he didn't withdraw the comment it appears that Skinner claims £400 'food allowance' per month from the tax payer on top of his £74,962 salary. And billed taxpayers £1700 for a custom made sofa?

They're all at it.

I like those quotes. Almost Churchill-esque.

That was after Skinner had called him dodgy Dave (yesterday wasn't the first time)

I'm not sure a 10 second soundbite is that expensive!!

what a herbert eh?

watch this story develop ,before leaping to a conclusion

He may well be but time he packed it in.He once said MPs should retire when they reached 65,Pity he didnt retire but there again he is happy in his own little bubble filling his pockets and making no difference to politics at all.

This so called clapped out 84 year old was able to capture the votes of more than half of those who voted in Bolsover last year and increased his majority.

And apparently has the best attendance record in parliament.

He's one of the few with the balls to stand up to the Conservatives

He may well be an excellent constituency MP.

However the proverbial donkey in a red rosette could win Bolsoverer. Since the seat was created in 1950 Labour's lowest percentage vote was Skinner's 50% in 2010, which as Bob says he marginally improved in 2015,both in terms of majority and percentage of votes.

As regards his attendance record,yes it is very good but there is more to being an MP than just sitting in the Commons!!

Put a blue rosette on a Tory anywhere outside inner London and Oxford East and they will do the same

The beauty of government is that the people are stupid..... Adolf Hitler

Both parts of the above are true!!

Following a revelation that the firm run by Labour’s new business tsar was incorporated in the Caymans, the FT’s Jim Pickard has asked Angela Eagle for a comment on her “ethical” business adviser. Eagle replied that Anthony Watson’s company “pays taxes in all the jurisdictions in which it operates”. What is the corporate tax rate in the Cayman Islands? Zero percent.

Ian Cameron’s Panama fund paid taxes in all the jurisdictions in which it operated, and Labour said that was "morally disgusting…"

Both are morally disgusting to me. And so are Cameron and Eagle for defending these kind of phoney arrangements

The right wing press have been groping around to find something to hit back at the labour party over tax havens, but is this really the best they can come up with?
An ex banker who has been advising the labour party on business matters has a business in the Cayman islands?
I'm genuinely surprised that they haven't been able to land anything more damaging than that?
I'm not sure this is really the killer blow they've obviously been looking for.
