Corbyn & Cabinet in the Media

Happily I've never had to fill in a tax return (PAYE for the win ) but I've seen my self-employed brother's, and festivaldeb's, and fuck me the forms are complicated. I'd be amazed if plenty of people don't make mistakes pretty regularly. Corbyn in not completely abnormal shocker

now he's leader of the opposition he can afford an accountant

in his position at this time I'd have done them myself as well, bad handwriting or no. Left cameron looking a bit shit when all he's got is 'ha ha your handwriting!' Much like the suit and tie jab a week back he's starting to look like a desperate bullying posh boy. Who fucks dead pigs heads and cheats the taxpayer.

not using an accountant, ordinarily, no bad thing. Since last year though: loads more things to do (less time) with additional new hat (more complicated);
therefore get an accountant.

ordinarily yes, but in the wake of the blow to the publics trust etc I think doing it by his own hand was a good move. Who knows if it was planned or he just poodled along like normal either way its not a bad move to my mind. Cameron presumably had his done by the same person who fine-tooth combed over St Jeremy's to look to see if there was so much as an undeclared mars bar to crow about.

My girlfriend had to do a self-assessment for a year she had not received any income. So no income and no outgoings. It took her hours to complete and when it came out she owed £20, somehow. She just paid it as life is too short.

Doing self assessment online is really easy. Most of the forms aren't actually applicable unless you have (for example) a lot of share income. Keep a copy of what you did last year and it's easy to update it.

It's always seemed to me that this was always Corbyn's strategy from the get-go: play the sensible serious politician (who's a human being) to Cameron's out of touch, bullying posh cunt who can only reply to questions with unrelated numbers and meaningless slogans.

Well, well, well...

But but but Corbyn is unelectable!!!!!111!!

Yes, I think he pretty much stated that would be the way he would go about things. It can take longer to work than using a bit of professional spin doctoring but you end up with a less compromised version of whatever you were trying to create in the first place.

Shy Tories, etc.

 

[brogdale]

But trends, all the same.
More pressure on the vermin.

ukip 17!
(should be on the polling thread )

An actual headline on the r4 news just now was 'jeremy corbyn defends decision to back remain, despite having voted to leave at the last referendum 40 years ago'.

If a week is a long time in politics four decades is a different era.
He was supposed to visit our work this week then cancelled due to a clash of commitments.

The Daily Mail have gone with the devastating 'Man gets paid his salary for 34 years':

Corbyn's £3m in pay and perks... just for being an MP

That is a disgrace, but the same is true for all MPs. I have I have thought this for years.

Not even DM readers are falling for that one. Desperate.

On BBC News Luara Kuenssberg and Kate Hoey both knew more about the inner workings of Jeremy Corbyn's mind than Jeremy Corbyn.

Ken Clarke has been in The Commons longer than Corbyn, so his accrued salary for the period of 46 years must exceed Corbyn's. Then you'd need to factor in the money he gets from British-American Tobacco and the other boards on which he sits and, well, you get the picture.

So do the Mail and other Tory rags think Corbyn should perform his parliamentary work for gratis? That seems to be the subtext of these, frankly, barking articles.

I think whats happened is Corbyn having been found to not have been troughing it and not have been implicated in dodginess via the panama papers, the wail is simply throwing up sand to try and create a 'but he's bang at it as well!' impression. Lord knowsI think politicos are payed too much and all that but this is thin gruel indeed

[Kaka Tim]

fuck me. Corbyn eat some cake. He got paid for his job. And now he's turned down sponsorship from a global corporation. His crimes go on and on. Will nobody stop this man before he destroys our great democracy.

On a winner again, if they'd accepted it would have been "Hypocrite loony lefty Corbyn takes money from anti-union fast food giants."

 

[J Ed]

Hahahaha as if Rentoul goes to mcdonalds, in the twitter thread he is claiming that he goes there and gets the fillet-o-fish.

Other idiots, again I suspect hardly of any of them go to the restaurant, on twitter claiming that refusing money from mcdonalds is classist.

 

[J Ed]

None of these second option bias wankers have ever worked in a fast food restaurant.
