Does no one within our government read Private Eye?
If Sunak did, he would have known about his wife’s tax arrangements for a very long time – along with all Private Eye readers.

Our esteemed Prime Minister again used the defence of total ignorance about his neighbours’ tax status.
I might fool the police by telling them he didn’t know he was attending a party as he chugged down a bottle of claret, but his proclamations of being unaware of serious matters are starting to look like negligence.

To my immature mind it is quite reasonable for the media to scrutinise high profile public appointments.
If I was appointed Chancellor or the Exchequer, I would quite reasonably expect Private Eye and others to point out that I have no professional qualifications in finance, had no professional experience in finance. and had never given any money to the Tory party (or to the Labour party for that matter).

She has made a grovelling apology, done a complete U-turn and generally not behaved like someone who is innocent.
Even to the most ardent fanboy, the man in charge of collecting the nations taxes has a spouse who has avoided £22million in tax, is not a good look. Diminishes his credibility and undermines everything he is doing.

he has got a point
I would be less impressed if my medical notes were splashed over the internet 'in the public interest'
Tax affairs are private in London and Bombay I think - but not the land of the Free. And it just goes to show how the rules can be different
Boris paid CGT on american property if you remember and my god didnt he squawk on the way - - pay or lose your citizenship
I note the hacks have realised that it was started in the 1799 Act - temporary measure to finance the French war
and yes by the way - there were allegations 1815 that wellington had delayed the news of the victory in order to make the killing
( only about 50 stock quoted at that time)
[oh come on ABers, writing about the stock market conditions in 1815 makes a welcome difference to the daily diet of - gobbledegooky, stupid man, keep quiet I am speaking, you are harassing me, I can insult anyone but you cant insult me and so on and so on]

//...surely he has enough on his plate without reading tittle tattle.//
In this particular case it isn't tittle tattle. The electorate is entitled to know what financial shenanigans the C of the E and his wife are up to whilst he puts up taxes to an excessive degree for everybody else.
That aside, Private Eye has been instrumental in exposing some of the biggest scandals that eventually come to the public's attention. Immediately to mind comes the Post Office affair, where sub-postmasters ended up in prison because of a flawed IT system, the recently revealed maternity hospital scandal and the persecution of a Northamptonshire publican by his Local Authority because he had the temerity to bar a solicitor from his three pubs for foul behaviour. He lost his business, his marriage and almost his sanity as a result. And I nearly forgot, the solicitor was the mistress of the Chief Executive of the local council. Private Eye reveals all manner of lesser goings-on, particular with Local Authorities in its "Rotten Boroughs" section. It should be read by anybody who, like me, believes Local Authorities are an unnecessary and superfluous gravy train which the country could easily do without.
