Investigate and prosecute Government officials involved with Mossack Fonsecca
Hiding large sums of money and evading paying taxes in the UK is a crime that harms our society and public services, and erodes the public's faith in our elected officials. Any Government official caught up in the 'Panama Papers' scandal should be removed from their position and prosecuted.
Why is this important?
Tax evasion has been estimated to cost the UK between £34bn to upwards of £100bn a year, this is money that is being stolen from our NHS, Schools and other public services. We jail single mothers for fraudulently claiming benefits for amounts that are insignificant by comparison to the people using these tax dodging schemes. The law should be fairly applied to all in society, regardless of their status or wealth.
