Have you got a PR disaster, has your oil rig blown up and leaking millions of barrels of oil into the ocean, have you been caught at the races with your girlfriend live on BBC news, while your wife watches from home and now the video is all over social media...
Its OK Captain Jezza can stand in and distract the media with utterly useless performances, so bad and incompetent, that the media forget about the original PR disaster....
It seems that Osborne's tax return is startlingly dull.
Over the years so much has been made of his very small stake in the families wallpaper business. He could have saved himself so much bother and just sold that back to the family before getting into government.
The divis and supposed stake size I've heard from the family business don't seem to add up. Either he's getting divis elsewhere, or the fair market value of his stake is higher than the paper value
George Osborne only earned £3 in interest.
Shameful.
There's your big story.
Hmm, he must be completely invested in shares and run a very tight ship in terms of cash... It suggests an average account balance of ~ £50 (6% interest) to ~ £600 (0.5% interest).
Balanced against a fair market value of ~ £1 million on his share dividends is very interesting indeed
Does anyone else here have such little savings interest and such whacking comparitively large Divi payments ?
I get 0.0% interest on my cash. Barclays Bank. So do the maths with that rate ...
Osborne must have kept an average cash balance of £6000 in a 0.05% Business premium account (That is Barclay's rate), whilst getting 0% on the remainder is the only logical explanation.

We hear this excuse all the time but just how acceptable is a business model that puts huge numbers of other taxpaying firms out of business, builds up a dominant market position and a truly huge capital value and yet contributes nothing to the society on which it feeds?
It is not Amazon's fault that our tax laws are so idiotic but it is only in the more arcane and remote areas of accountancy that this is not a profitable firm that should be accounting for a proportion of that profit. In the meantime I buy nothing off Amazon I can get anywhere else. I am sure they are hurting as a result.
That is the first time I have heard a Tory complain that businesses are reinvesting in jobs and technology, driving forward some areas by leaps and bounds instead of taking fat profits for the shareholders. Are you sure you are in the right party ? Amazon might not pay any tax, but those ten of thousand of people it employs all over the world pay tax, those billions it spends with hardware companies and other suppliers, they all pay tax because of the money Amazon spends with them.
Doesn't keep his tax returns for 7 years (against the rules) Files late (against the rules) Filled in the incorrect form (idiot) Doesn't appear to have disclosed for a lodger (or is charging a lodger well below market rate) Has previous taken money from dodgy press outfits with questions about the money being "offshore"
If the journos can be bothered that should give them a bit to work with. It is all small beer and petty, but then the PM doesn't appear to done anything wrong and Labour called for him to be imprisoned for something or other.

I have two Tesco current accounts, that pay 3% on the first 3 grand in each account.
what's wrong with Santander 123 paying 3% on up to £20k???
Well £60 of fees take that down to an effective 2% on £6k.
indeed - but if you've got more then it's a no-brainer - TSE can ebay a few shoes to get to the £20k no doubt. Plus of course the cashbacks can make up the £60 anyway.
Presumably because they don't have the internet option. So it's fair they get the extra time.
But is that true for others who can't file online? If so, HMRC are remarkably coy about it; there's no mention of it on their website as far as I can see.

You have to put your salary in their and have so many direct debits to earn it.
Nope - just at least £500pm and then a min 2 direct debits - go for those which give you the most cashback if you don't want to get all the available cashback paid. Don't make it your main current a/c either is my use of it.

@faisalislam: Government strategy now to use the Panama Papers fallout to attack LAbour for being "anti-aspiration" - on share ownership, Inheritance tax
Took them a week to work out the correct line but it is still the correct line.
Surely there will come a point when she has a majority and that is that?
I agree with Richard though. She is not a natural campaigner or public speaker. She needs to work at it and she has been forced to sharpen her message, improve her performances and weed out at least some of the incompetents in her team. None of this will do her any harm come November.
Not exactly. She will have a majority at some point due to her superdelegate support but these are 'soft' votes: pledges of intent that can be reversed at the delegate's discretion. As such, they're not in the bag until they're cast at the convention itself - unlike the 'hard' votes coming from primaries and caucuses where the delegate is required to vote a certain way.
At the moment, depending on which source you use, Hillary has a lead in pledged delegates in the range of 220-280. There are 712 unpledged superdelegates so it's highly likely that Hillary will be reliant on at least some for her overall win. Of course, she'll actually get most of the superdelegates - giving her a much more comfortable win rather than putting it at risk - but all the same, she won't technically be assured of victory without a 712 lead in the pledged column.
Talking of interest on deposits, has anyone got experience of Aldermore for business deposits? The interest rates look very good (too good?).
1.10 to 2.35% ?
Excellent rates for a business acount to my eyes, don't look "too good" to me.
Hell of a lot better than NatWest!
Or Barclays.
FSCS protected business rates tend to be the lowest in the business, so 1.1% is very good I think.
Indeed - we've got a 1 year fix and the easy access account with Aldermore.
Interestingly rates are fairly similar these days.. more a reflection of dire personal savings rates however.
You can pretty much make a personal savings rate what you want up to around £70k or so if you're prepared to have plenty of standing orders between different accounts...

Well I guess it could expand a lot more slowly, employ a lot less people, we could all hand back our Kindles, we could turn off half the cloud services used by businesses, forget about all that nice digital media investment, the half a dozen other companies they bought would probably not have made it, including Blue Origin, and we could pay for a couple of thousand extra dole cheques in the UK and up to a 100,000 world wide....
That is the whole problem with this transparency. By displaying their market value so publicly, using a football analogy- you'd want to buy Messi who gets paid top dollar than some useless hoofer from Doncaster Rovers whose paid pittance.
Labour need to find someone who can present a half decent tax return which underlies their all round ability, not some old duffer who cannot even hit the simplest of deadlines or fill in the right parts of the form.

You are assuming that the business would not otherwise exist and would not employ others. You are assuming that these services would not be provided otherwise. I think if we had a variety of companies providing internet shopping based in the UK and paying tax in the UK we would have more employment, a better choice of services and considerably more tax paid for services in the society that provided those companies with their opportunities to make money.

Tom Watson's face was an absolute picture. He started of grinning and then he went paler and paler, finally looking as though he was going to be sick.
There is just no-one to match the PM in the HoC.
It was the look on Osborne's face when Corbyn was speaking that I found funny. Incredulity does not come close to the level of disbelief shown.
Indeed, I love the tweet I read, that if JC didn't exist, you would have to invent him.
Not sure it's always a good idea for GO to sit next to the PM because it makes his pallor look even worse. He looks like he has been sprayed with whitewash.

The problem (well, a problem) is that for users it is actually a lot more convenient to interact with a single, giant company than lots of smaller ones.

That was a truly dismal performance, shouty incoherent and full of accusations already answered.
Bizarre. Corbyn had advance sight of it, not that you'd notice.
As @thescreamingeagles says - shameful.
