It was not against the law and Cherie would have been well aware. Tony has to be equally responsible. But then Cameron et al did similar. Come back Kier Hardie.
I know! - just wait until you read about the Tories who actually broke the actual law by committing bribery and corruption, to the tune of millions and millions.
According to today’s Times and the recently released ‘Pandora Papers’, a £9m house in London was bought via an offshore company, to avoid stamp duty. Though on the World Service last night I heard that the saving was over £400k.
However it’s also being said that it was Cherie’s own deal, so no blame attached to the sainted Tony.
Also that far more in CGT will have to be paid when it’s eventually sold, so that makes it all right, of course.
