I welcome HMRC’s conclusion, which has cleared me of any wrongdoing.

I have been exonerated by HMRC of the accusation that I deliberately sought to avoid tax.

When purchasing a home of my own with a mortgage, I did not own any other property and had no personal financial interest in the court-instructed trust set up to manage my son’s financial award. I was advised by experts that I should pay stamp duty at the standard rate.

I set out to pay the correct amount of tax. I took reasonable care and acted in good faith, based on the expert advice I received, and HMRC has accepted this.

I have always sought to act with integrity, and I believe politicians should be held to high standards - that is why I resigned from government and cooperated fully with HMRC. 

I wanted to ensure that I paid every penny that I owed, and have done so. I am relieved that my family can now move on - and that I can get on with my job.

@TLRailUK @TfL - packed train yet 1st class sitting empty - after the constant delays, constant strikes - why should I pay £240 a month and not get a seat on a service?

[ben @benhutt6]

@krispykremeUK - y do u make ur staff stand and not provide them with seats? Seems pointless and spiteful when there is ample room and no reason other than someone who doesn’t have to do it - deciding that’s how it should be….

If she was a southern male the outcome of this situation would be very different!

Those calling for Angela Rayner to resign is beyond ridiculous. Right Wingers frothing at the mouth over on @SkyNews … as long as Chris Philp is still a sitting MP, they can all shut up.

[Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon]

The results are in. The vast majority of Londoners and major businesses back our exciting plans for Oxford Street, so I'm pleased to confirm that we will now be moving ahead as quickly as possible.

In a Christian marriage, a wife should vote according to her husband’s direction.

He is the head and they are one.

Unity extends to politics.

This is not controversial.

Ghana should be kicked out of the UN- this is a human rights crime!

[BBC News Africa @BBCAfrica]

Ghana’s Parliament has unanimously passed a controversial anti-gay bill that prescribes a 3-year jail term for identifying as LGBTQ+ and a 5-year imprisonment for promoting LGBTQ+ activities. More on this soon.

[ben @benhutt6]

@SouthernRailUK Ok - as this happened last week can you confirm if this is going to be regular as the service is so busy already!

[ben @benhutt6]

@SouthernRailUK why was the 08:20 from south Croydon to London Bridge only 8 coaches ?

[ben @benhutt6]

@SouthernRailUK Can you comfort this isn’t a permanent change ?

[ben @benhutt6]

@SouthernRailUK why did you only send an 8 coach train today for the 08:24 service to London Bridge from south Croydon ??

[ben @benhutt6]

I just signed the petition calling on Paula Vennells, the former CEO of the Post Office to be stripped of her CBE. Will you sign too? #MrBatesVSThePostOffice https://t.co/8BHnHRmVYx via @38degrees

[ben @benhutt6]

@SouthernRailUK That isn’t a reason to put less coaches on a train that normally has 12 and you have less trains running!!! Not like they are being used elsewhere as it’s a amended timetable!!

So I ask again - why are you putting on less coaches ???

[ben @benhutt6]

@SouthernRailUK why do you keep sending trains with less coaches on a strike day!!! It’s actually dangerous! Answer the question why????!!!!!

[ben @benhutt6]

Thanks @TfL @SouthernRailUK really nice of you to send a short train on a strike day! Love when you do that - really nice to have to push onto a train as it’s your only way to work! Thanks so much - any reason you do that???

[ben @benhutt6]

@SouthernRailUK @TfL @TLRailUK Like how ? How can someone not doing overtime mean that you can only provide a 5 coach train when normally it’s 12???? Makes no sense - please can you explain??? Most working class people don’t have jobs in which they can WFH and have jobs that will reduce pay due to lateness!

[ben @benhutt6]

@SouthernRailUK @TfL @TLRailUK so you decide not to do overtime - why send a short train of only 5 coaches and penalise people who are just trying to get to work and get their kids to school #shameful
