      This needs to be done because if Reform get into power they won’t hesitate to use stuff like this against their opponents for even the most minor thing including honest mistakes. Look at Putin, corruption is rife in Russia, kowtow to him and you can do what you want, displease him and you’ll be done for tax stuff.

      Edit: Also look at the US and Trump (whose playbook Reform are following) if you don’t believe me. Trump got the Department of Justice to launch a criminal investigation into the boss of the Federal Reserve because he wouldn’t do what Trump wanted.

      Party chair Anna Turley wrote to the tax authority after the Sunday Times reported Tice had „avoided nearly £600,000 in corporation tax“ through his property company.

      This needs investigating ASAP.

      Why are Labour „urging“ anything? Aren’t they the party of government right now? Even if the body responsible for investigating are independent the government should have the ability to raise a sufficient concern for that to be taken up and investigated at least.

      It is remarkable how consistent the plastic megaphone patriots are when it comes to certain aspects of their own relationship with the country they are oh-so-patriotic about…

      Tice looks to have avoided (not evaded) tax through ‚tax loopholes‘ that the Government are able to close if they want to. Appears not illegal, but a bad look for a politician.

      Just a reminder of Starmer defending Raynor after she actually had evaded taxes (didn’t follow up on advice that she may be liable for tax – which it turned out she was) – [https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cy850l982v0o](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cy850l982v0o)

      *Sir Keir told the BBC he was „proud“ of his deputy and that „talking her down“ was „a big mistake“. A spokesperson for Rayner previously said she paid „the relevant duty“ owed on the Hove property „entirely properly“.*

      Starmer followed his usual pattern of not getting too involved – didn’t look at the advice Raynor had received before defending her. Just as Starmer didn’t bother to talk to Mandelson before appointing him Ambassador. It is a lawyers trick – don’t ask questions if you might not want to hear the answers. Worked with Louise Haigh as well when appointing her a Minister- he had been told about her conviction, but Starmer didn’t do any follow up questions, so could claim some ignorance of facts later. Ditto Tulip Siddiq.

      Is it any wonder that people think politicians are all the same?

      Tice has structured for himself and his businesses a network of tax avoidance companies and assets. The most notable being: **Sunley Property LLP** and **Bathurst Developments,** which have both been linked to a Bermuda-based trust, used to hold land and avoid capital gains tax liabilities.  This structure has drawn public scrutiny for enabling tax avoidance while maintaining control over UK property assets.

      So, the next time either Tice or Farage mention taxation or Government spending, bear in mind that Tice and many others on the right of politics don’t actually pay their fair share of tax in to the Government coffers. They see it as their right to not contribute yet criticise the very country they campaign to run for governing.

      I think this should be extended to all politicians and revisited every 2 years.

      Good, this plastic patriot should have his tax affairs poured over. Especially given the vinegar if his demands for the likes Rayner and Reeves over their tax affairs.

      I also find it hilarious that this man complains of broken Britain but wants to skimp on paying his fair share into Britains infrastructure.
