Who has done more for tax justice?

Posted on

I have been asked a number of times why I do not support Jeremy Corbyn and John McDonnell given all some say they have supposedly done for tax justice.

I reply with a simple question. Who, I ask, has done more for tax justice, John and Jeremy or Margaret Hodge?

There is, of course, quite simply no contest: Margaret wins hands down. Even in the last year, in her post Public Account Committee days, she's done more on the issue than they have.

And she's not bowled over by Jeremy and John for reasons about which she is quite clear.

I do not agree with Margaret on everything. But there's no doubt who has been by far the most effective operator and will remain so whilst John and Jeremy want to play at creating a new social movement when it's their job to run an Opposition.

So can we put that question to bed please?
