Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle
Quote:
JEREMY Corbyn has claimed he is not rich — despite earning nearly £138,000 a year.
The Labour leader, who earns five times the average UK salary of £26,500, said he didn’t see himself as “high-brow or wealthy.”
Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, claims he is not rich despite earning nearly £138,000 a year
The socialist, 67, who lives in a £600,000 house in Islington, earns £74,962 as an MP and is also entitled to an additional £62,440 as leader of the opposition, giving him a total of £137,402.
Having served 33 years in parliament, Mr Corbyn is also in line for a gold-plated final salary pension worth nearly £50,000 a year and already receives a state pension of £6,000 a year.

Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle
tbf, he has probably lived in the Islington house for a couple of decades, from when houses there were dirt cheap, due to it not being a very salubrious area...

Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle
While 138k a year is a damn good wage not sure I'd put him in the rich bracket based off that and as Hugh said he's probably lived in the house for quite a while so appearence is not reflecting reality. I can't stand the man i think he's a waste of space and he hands out all the ammo you could ever need to attack him but i don't think this particular angle is wise.

5 times the average salary, wonder how many times the average salary jailbird brooks is getting, imo one of the biggest scandals of recent years is how executive pay has rocketed whilst other employees has stagnated or been cut, let's hope the sun turn this into a campaign

Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle
I see Corbyn's sidekick is talking about taking away Branson's knighthood now because he's a tax exile and is trying to undermine democracy:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-37208527
Quote:
British tycoon Sir Richard Branson is a "tax exile" and should be stripped of his knighthood, shadow chancellor John McDonnell has suggested.
Mr McDonnell told the Sunday Mirror Sir Richard wanted to "undermine" democracy, after a row over Jeremy Corbyn's journey on a Virgin train.
Earlier this week, Sir Richard's Virgin Trains released footage disputing Mr Corbyn's claims about overcrowding on one of its services.

Undermining democracy?

Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle
They wouldn't stoop to that level would they? 
Anyway, it'd be interesting to know whether Labour has any tax exile/avoiding donors that McDonnell ought to feel equally uncomfortable about.
Corbyn's running of Labour reminds me of the sort of unpleasant loony left antics the student union used to employ in my days as a student. It's almost as these guys haven't ever grown up...

Didn't they (presumably inadvertently) call for their biggest donor to be stripped of their gong recently

Look it's really not fair to point these things out because Corbyn is clearly the new Messiah and would certainly never allow his party to have any truck with such mortal weaknesses as hypocrisy, lies, duplcity, spin, intimidation, threats or violence...

Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle
Just shows what kind of country we would be in if they got into power.
Dare anyone question them.
Thought police are on their way.

Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle
Yes Labour has always taken a very hard line on tax avoidance:
Quote:
This is a pretty brave attack line from John McDonnell over Tory party donors who may have avoided tax:
“Is the Prime Minister happy to receive money from big donors who are accused of tax avoidance?”
Especially when you consider that Labour’s biggest donor Unite paid no corporation tax in 2011 and 2012, despite earning £5.78 million from their £51.6 million investment portfolio.
