I can read it
Basically Margaret Hodge is to head a new cross party group focusing on 'responsible taxation'. She wants "parliament to play a key role in building and maintaining the fair, sustainable and transparent tax system that's needed to create growth and prosperity in the UK" The Group she's heading will be 'scrutinising tax reliefs'. The group she's heading was announced at a meeting of a 'responsible tax for the common good' project.

They should use me as a tax benchmark. Anyone earning more than me, 99% tax rate. Soak the rich.
Anyone earning what I earn or less, 1% tax rate. Let's reward hard working families!
This strikes a chord with me in terms of fairness all round.Comment
