"1. Monday morning
"That is a private matter. I will focus on what the government is doing."
No 10 spokesman
2. Tuesday afternoon
"In terms of my own financial affairs, I own no shares. I have a salary as prime minister and I have some savings, which I get some interest from and I have a house, which we used to live in, which we now let out while we are living in Downing Street and that’s all I have. I have no shares, no offshore trusts, no offshore funds, nothing like that. And, so that, I think, is a very clear description."
David Cameron speaking in Birmingham
3. Late Tuesday afternoon
"To be clear, the prime minister, his wife and their children do not benefit from any offshore funds. The prime minister owns no shares. As has been previously reported, Mrs Cameron owns a small number of shares connected to her father’s land, which she declares on her tax return."
No 10 spokesman
4. Wednesday morning
"There are no offshore funds/trusts which the prime minister, Mrs Cameron or their children will benefit from in future."
No 10 spokesman"

I notice Hamface and his spokesfolk still haven't mastered the use of the past tense in any of these statements.
Or could it be that they know basic grammar very well indeed?Comment

They call it 'spin'. What they mean is 'swivel'. While sticking up their middle finger.Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.Comment

Only last year, the public accounts committee reported that the accountancy firm PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) was promoting tax avoidance on an industrial scale. To make things worse, it was first in the frame to benefit from administering the windup of Tata’s steel operations in the UK.“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

This pretty much proves why we need Corbyn in as PM asap. Corbyn has no skeletons in cupboard and leads a life style that is on par with normal man on the street. He understands the common man better then some Eton educated member of privileged class.Vote Corbyn ! Save this country !Comment
