Tax row rumbles on as Corbyn and Osborne release tax returns

The row over Prime Minister David Cameron's taxes, and those of other MPs, continues to rumble on despite Chancellor George Osborne and Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn both publishing their tax returns for last year yesterday.

It comes as it remains unclear who will be the next MP to make their finances open to public scrutiny.

PM and chancellor 'should publish full tax return'

Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell Credit: PA

The prime minister nor the chancellor have published their full tax return but just a summary that leaves more questions, the shadow chancellor said.

Chancellor George Osborne published his tax return after the prime minister urged him too amid a row over his personal finances.

This has been a distraction not a true disclosure. Neither the Prime Minister nor the Chancellor has published their full tax return like myself or the Leader of the Labour Party.

Instead they have provided a summary that leaves more questions than answers, which strikes me as an odd approach and is as transparent as dish water.
