So the chancellor has no influence on tax policy? OK, although if he really does have as much control of tax policy as 'he does the tides' then arguably he's not qualified to do the job.
His wife's tax affairs are her own. OK - although as the spouse of a high profile public servant charged with helping the country navigate through a cost of living / inflation crisis you'd think he might encourage her to maybe consider the optics just a little.
Anyway, it's all semantics - he's got his nose in the trough and his personal action (inaction) seems to confirm that levelling up really is just a throwaway slogan to appeal to and appease the great unwashed.
Good to clarify the point around seeking an advantage that parliament never intended.
Rishi appears to be happy to exploit a system (that he oversees and can presumably amend) which benefits the super-wealthy. Probably precisely what parliament intended.
He could have chosen to (a) not exploit the opportunity personally; and (b) take steps to close the scheme so others couldn't use it to limit their contributions to the public purse.

can someone (anyone?) explain why we've got a skate on a saints forum frothing at the mouth trying to argue the relative merits of a chelsea player vs. a man city player.
if you feel the game is gone / it's corrupt / biased to the top six / theres no point...
Just stop going.
Stop crying your heart out.
Don't come on here moaning about how unfair it is. Just stop paying for sky / bt / tickets and get on with your lives. Its not going to change however much you want it to.
Am i still ok to tune in to breakfast time tomorrow morning?
Dan and Louise are annoying and clearly pedalling lies but i have a thing for Alexis Greene - i won't trust her weather forecasts anymore but she does help me to 'get up' in the morning.
