    Completely unacceptable!!! What’s that? Farage accepted £5m just before running as MP? No problems there, I’m sure it was all above board…

      Classic whataboutism.

      If you’re all about taxing fairly, maybe the leader of the party shouldn’t be trying to save a few pennies by avoiding tax.

    The establishment is absolutely shitting themselves about the greens getting anywhere near power. They would absolutely rather push it to the point of the guillotine rather than just pay their fair share and properly fund society.

      What a hypocritical statement. Pay their fair share and this bumbling fool isn’t paying his. Hilarious.

        Compared to MPs expenses scandal, or Farage’s undeclared £5 million (plus his dodgy house buying tactic) and their denial of wring doing or even why people might have an issue each step of the way him owning up, accepting responsibility and paying what’s owed and the fine is very much “paying his fair share”.

        Could he do better? Yes, of course. Is he doing better that most non-Green national level policians? Seems to be.

          On par with every other lying politician is a more apt description. There’s been so many lies.

    Maybe Zack could say he thought he was working for the RNLI as a spokesperson on his house boat?

    Meanwhile, billionaries are paying less taxes percentually than 99% of the population. Tax the fucking rich.
