Another of Mrs Sunak's ventures... Mrs Wordsmith (an education business) went into administration last year owing £16.3million – after receiving a £1.3million loan from the Government's "Future Fund"!
OH IT GETS WORSE... Digme Fitness (which she owns 100% of) received up to £635,000 of furlough money... before it then closed its eight studios in London and Oxford... still owing HMRC £415,000!

So .... Mr Sunak introduces the furlough scheme ... and the woman he's sleeping with benefits by up to £635,000!
Mr Sunak oversees the rules regarding Non-Dom status ... and the woman he's sleeping with benefits by over £20 million!
Mr Sunak is in charge of ensuring that the UK maximises its tax revenue... yet the woman he's sleeping with has been active in, or has owned, companies going bust owing a staggering £789,000 to HMRC!

Mr Sunak says his wife's tax affairs are none of OUR business... he can f uck RIGHT off!!

Arrogance in almost immeasurable amounts!
Not read any of this, but if true Sunak should resign. I don't doubt that a great many business owners took advantage of the furlough scheme as well as other legal loopholes but any MPs who had any such involvement should have the details made public. Their actions may not have been illegal but their status as MPs should mean they should act accordingly with the standards expected of elected representatives. As Chancellor-where he can implement systems that he can personally benefit from-the onus on Sunak to behave appropriately is even greater. Another example of the arrogance and tone-deafness of the Tory elite.
