Labour has accused David Cameron of "hypocrisy" after he revealed he had owned shares in an offshore trust set up by his late father. On Thursday, the PM said he sold the shares before he entered Number 10 in 2010 and had paid all UK taxes due on profits from the £30,000 sale. He said the firm, Blairmore Holdings, had not been set up to avoid tax. Commentator Charlie Woolf and Ian Dunt from politics.co.uk
How much bother is Cameron in here?
He's adamant this wasn't a tax avoidance firm. Even if it was, tax avoidance isn't illegal?
Many of the people throwing criticism at him - the Twitter experts - haven't a clue about the details
The partial explanations this week haven't helped?
There's an old saying - in politics, when you are explaining, you're losing?
It adds to the image of the toff, it damages the "we're all in this together" line
Politics is a tough business, he's being slated for his dead father's business?
