David Gauke Joins The LibDems

David Gauke tells The Times:

‘It [no deal] is a position that would play into the hands of Lib Dems. I don’t think we should underestimate Jo Swinson

‘She’s capable, she’s a very good communicator

‘I think she will be energetic and a passionate advocate for her party’s views’

Gauke Has Irony Bypass

Great place for a ministerial visit. The Death Star - the set of next #StarWars film at @PinewoodStudios to see benefits of film tax credits

David Gauke's Hypocrisy

I see that Gauke, who bemoans the "morals" of others, has decided to keep some of the profits made on his taxpayer funded London flat that he sold in August.

That's the spirit eh David?

Advice To David Gauke

A politician lecturing us on morality is as natural as a cat trying to walk on its hind legs.

Tax Avoidance and The K2 Issue

Tax Avoidance is a perfectly normal human thing to try to do, politicians (eg David Gauke, Cameron and Osborne) are not in a position to lecture the rest of us on "morality" and should shut the fuck up!

Advice To David Gauke

Don't insult donkeys, or those who donate to donkey charities!

David Gauke In Denial

David Gauke, Exchequer Secretary, is in denial about HMRC's chaotic performance wrt answering the phones.

"HMRC does not have a target time for answering telephone calls.

HMRC uses a variety of measures to assess the accessibility of telephone services, which include the percentage of call attempts handled by its contact centres.

In 2011/12, HMRC has significantly improved the number of call attempts handled to 74% (compared to the 48% in the previous year)."

I guess he leaves such tedious matters (ie tax and dealing with HMRC) to his accountant?
