I cannot help but smile when a Labour minister believes he pays too much tax and seeks to avoid the taxman as Lord Drayson has done. He supports a party prepared to increase taxes for middle income, middle Englanders to fund a bloated public sector yet is not prepared to pay his "fair share" by using offshore trusts to keep his wealth beyond the clutches of the taxman. How many people on incapacity benefit could be funded out of £3m he is alleged to have saved in taxes?
I don't consider how many teachers or nurses he could have funded or hospitals built as £100bn is spent on benefits a year compared to only £23bn on schools.
