The Guardian reports on a Corbyn walkabout in Bristol:

Jeremy Corbyn was mobbed by supporters when he took an unplanned walk through the streets of Bristol on Friday afternoon.

The Labour leader reportedly infuriated photographers and the press by ignoring them, and instead talked to shoppers and young mothers in Bristol’s Easton district.

Local media reported that Labour officials “were left tearing their hair out” after Corbyn stopped and held up the media scrum to listen to people who stopped him in the street.

Corbyn had left Westminster to campaign in support of Marvin Rees, the Labour candidate for Bristol mayor, who has sought to highlight the city’s stark inequalities and the plight of its poor.

Ian Onions, the political editor of the Bristol Post, described it as “a walkabout by a political leader like no other”.

“Instead of the usual stage-managed performance, meeting and greeting people specially handpicked for the occasion, Jeremy Corbyn took to the streets of Easton to talk, listen and have his photo taken with shoppers, traders and passersby,” Onions reported.

If I had known you were coming I would have baked one.

Has the Mail or Sun dug out the names of any Labour donors or Lords from the Panama Papers yet? There's bound to be a few dodgy donors from Blair's time in there. You know they're desperate for a 'Labour hypocrisy over offshore loot' headline to attack Corbyn.

 

[Sprocket.]

Dominic Grieve was spouting on about tax evasion on Today this morning and slippery as an eel he managed to force the point that this Tory government and the previous coalition did more to curb evasion than Labour did in 13 years.
Fucking weasel!

I heard that. He was also claiming that people "would lose their livelihoods" in the tax havens Crown dependencies. It's odd then how he and the rest of his party is so blasé about people losing their livelihoods in steel, coal, shipbuilding and manufacturing. FFS.

Not that I am a betting man but I would wager that he is being economical with the truth if not downright lying. It would not surprise me to discover that curbing evasion was mostly limited to small or smaller business whilst large corporations and people with the right connections, like himself got a free pass.

 

[two sheds]

Yes. I'm sure that they've made more announcements that they *will* close down tax avoidance and evasion, but there again they are notorious liars ("we're all in it together, NHS safe in our hands" etc etc).

No-one should be in doubt of his motivation for making such a statement, but he is not wrong.

Blair and Brown indulged the Big Five (as they then were, until AA went down with Enron) accountancy firms that led the development of this culture (and despite knowing exactly what they were up to), put Harnett in charge of HMRC and agreed with what he was doing, brought in LLPs, snuggled up to the sorts of businesses and individuals that did this on an industrial scale, connived at selling off / contracting out state assets and monies to firms that they knew were avoiding taxes (via PFI deals etc) and were at best utterly indifferent to anyone that blew the whistle. Every action they took with regards to tax avoidance encouraged its development.

Cameron has been no better (despite making the odd noise about it), and the Tories would probably have gone down a similar road if they were in power, but the heavy lifting (as it was with regards to tuition fees, welfare assessments etc) was done by New Labour.

 

[Hocus Eye.]

New Labour was really a Tory Government. They gave the current government plenty of Tory policies to worsen. This incudes PFI, Academy schools and austerity.
