Rushi Sunak And Wife Taxes

[evadora]

The following has just appeared on my Facebook page - (tried to get it to show a link but not been possible). How much truth is in the story??
So... it now comes to light that Rishi Sunak's wife was part owner of Lava Mayfair Club Ltd (a private membership gym), which collapsed last year owing almost £44million to creditors, including £374,000 to HMRC!
Another of Mrs Sunak's ventures... Mrs Wordsmith (an education business) went into administration last year owing £16.3million – after receiving a £1.3million loan from the Government's "Future Fund"!
OH IT GETS WORSE... Digme Fitness (which she owns 100% of) received up to £635,000 of furlough money... before it then closed its eight studios in London and Oxford... still owing HMRC £415,000!
So .... Mr Sunak introduces the furlough scheme ... and the woman he's sleeping with benefits by up to £635,000!
Mr Sunak oversees the rules regarding Non-Dom status ... and the woman he's sleeping with benefits by over £20 million!
Mr Sunak is in charge of ensuring that the UK maximises its tax revenue... yet the woman he's sleeping with has been active in, or has owned, companies going bust owing a staggering £789,000 to HMRC!
Mr Sunak says his wife's tax affairs are none of OUR business... he can *** RIGHT off!!
Arrogance in almost immeasurable amounts!

TTT,

How do you know that no Amazon employees claim benefits?

ellipsis: "They use their people to influence the vote through a social media campaign." - yes in a GE perhaps but this is a tiny private election the main swayers will be the candidates themselves through email and hustings.

jdavis: "How do you know that no Amazon employees claim benefits? " - ok we are playing semantics, ok then, less benefits, no doubt some are getting topped up from benefits but it's a lot less than if they were unemployed.

People who are likely Tory party members can be targeted through Facebook. If you read a couple of bad things about Truss and a couple of dozen bad things about Sunak, it will definitely influence you towards Truss, no matter what Sunak says. And vice versa of course ...

" typical lefty focus on one thing rather than the big ticket. [Amazon] employ 100s of thousands all paying tax and not claiming dole."
Do they all pay tax, who knows?

Does Amazon employ that many folk? Not according to Amazon.

"Amazon previously announced that it would create 10,000 roles last year to end 2021 with 55,000 permanent employees. The company now has more than 70,000 employees in the UK, with the additional 15,000 permanent jobs confirmed today"

elipsis:"People who are likely Tory party members can be targeted through Facebook." - only if they use twitface etc and how do they target party members?

[JDavis]

If those in work still have to claim benefits, they're probably
not being paid a fair wage.

And I'd imagine huge global corporations using legal tax-avoidance schemes is much more morally complex than you claim.

Facebook ads can be targeted in lots of ways such as income, location, pages followed (e.g. "Conservatives"), membership of certain groups (e.g. "Conservative Party"), and combinations of the above.

Have a read of this ...

You have been reached, though - see the OP.

I read that too evadora, but couldn't find a link so didn't share.

[ToraToraTora]

nothing I didn't know already and I ain't voting for Sunk anyway.

It would be great if your fellow Tories were impervious to malign influences, TTT, but sadly they are probably not ...

[ToraToraTora]

Elipsis: "It would be great if your fellow Tories were impervious to malign influences,.... " - do you know many Tories?

[Ellipsis]

Yep.

[William51]

None of this about Rishi's wife is new. It's over 12 months ago now since it was plastered all over the news. It's just a smear campaign against Rishi.
