Westminste­r is Paradise for the rich

-

FIRST there were the Panama Papers, now it’s the Paradise Papers – how many Papers will it take before this Tory Government act on blatant tax avoidance?

But is the silence and inaction in Westminste­r surprising? After all, the list includes one of the Tory Party’s biggest donors, Lord Ashcroft, who has given £10million to them.

We live in a society where the UK Government are more than happy to drive people into poverty and push working families to foodbanks. We have a Tory Government who are willing to push ahead with their universal credit that will leave people going hungry while they wait six weeks for their money – but who help the richest get richer by hiding their money.

It’s little wonder we’re headed towards the biggest increase in inequality since the days of Thatcher.
