Look no further than this current Prime Minister.

Well, there are many responses to this, I rather like 'no shit Sherlock. '

RishiSunak How much is enough money ? Just asking for the rest of us that have been plummeted into food and fuel poverty by your decisions ?

Seriously how greedy are these people. Billionaires but still find ways to play the system! He made millions with his hedge fund from the 2008 financial collapse…he didn’t care about 3 million new starters who changed jobs at the time of the lockdown…

Infosys is tax evading profit skimming IT-bodyshop operation with deep support in Indian govt. Encouraging in any form means suicidal for English middle class

MaryH0122 All I can say is perhaps he is. He didnt stand by the side of Boris through the hit jobs he has had to withstand so he will have to grin and bare it.

🎶 I’ve got non-dom status and the country hates us🎶

As a married couple Rishi benefits from her tax position. I like them but this is about fairness at a time when so many are really struggling in the UK. It's not great optics to say the least.

The Times here, calling a true statement 'a smear'. The Chancellor. Who sets tax policy. Is married to a woman who uses non-dom status to avoid UK tax on foreign earnings. By claiming that she does not intend to make the UK her long-term home. Even though she lives over No10!

Shock news: Politician subjected to hit job. This should not be allowed. Not anyway if you happen to be a Tory. Fine for other parties.

Not saying it’s morally right but no laws have been broken and she’s not the only one doing it.

Reply ratio for an awful angle

How very dare they slander him with the bloody truth... or even throw section 7 of the ministerial code of conduct in his face?

Well that’s just tough titty isn’t it 😅

Shock..horror..Tory greed..🤣🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Did he think it would never come out?🤣

How much longer must we have leaks. Surely this in unprecedented. It’s certainly not welcome.

No Hit Job but he is showing double standards

Does he really need to worry, he’s a multimillionaire milking the system,!

And the irony being that the likely cause of the the leak is his own boss: another man who thinks that it’d be unfair for the rules that apply to everyone else also to apply to him. How rotten are these people?

Yeah, it's not like it's in the public interest to know these things.

Aside from the perpetrators motives, he has to explain the matter simply & show others who enjoy this exclusion. It seems unfair to tax someone with similar case but again, explanation necessary!

He’s not proud of her creativity?

Rats in a bag - bite fellow rats.

Probably his boss.....

Oh so is he saying they are untrue? Otherwise its not a hit job is it?

He’s benefitting from a multimillion pound tax avoidance scheme, that on its face is ridiculous. His wife lives here. She’s lived here for years. They’ve got kids who live here. For him to live off cash shielded from HMRC whilst he raises taxes for everyone else is rancid.

Of course it was, anyone with 2 eyes can see that.

Oh no. Who could have done it!

Do bears shit in the woods?

Disgusting people sabotaging him by telling the truth about him.

I wonder who’s got most to gain by discrediting the man deemed most likely to replace the PM, should he fall. It’s a mystery.

Rishi Sunak faces questions over wife Akshata Murty's non-dom tax statusOpposition parties urge the chancellor to 'come clean' over a legal tax status claimed by his wife. What a weird way to present this. Correction: She has 'chosen' to not pay UK tax, the only reason why she does not have to pay UK tax is because she has chosen not to and has successfully applied for non-dom status. She could have changed her status at any time (and still can). Ms Murty was born in India and CHOOSES not to pay UK tax on income she earns outside Britain. CORRECTED IT FOR YOU
