I am quoted in the Sunday Mirror today:
Tax expert Richard Murphy said: “By being cheated out of £183 each year the British people are being taken for a ride.
"We need a big politician to stand up to these companies.”
That reflected a blog I wrote yesterday morning. Well, it looks like we've now got one who has stood up to do so. Good for Ed Miliband.
I did have one quibble with the Mirror story though: they used HMRC's estimate of tax avoidance, and not mine. As a result they understated the problem, by some way.
Thanks for reading this post.

Can you signpost us to a simple (?) explanation as to how private equity corporations, eg Bridgepoint etc, operate. We want to delve deeper. See article on website .
My honest answer is right now I can’t
sorry
If Ed M becomes PM and follows through on his promises, that little quibble won’t matter much. I suppose the Mirror felt duty bound to quote the official figs.
Hopefully in addition to the extra funding for HMRC, Ed will clean house of all the corporate cuckoos Dave C has installed there!
That would be especially useful
And no, I am not looking for a job in case anyone is asking
