Jacob Rees-Mogg’s Company Accounts show c£103M profit over last 5 years, but paid ZERO UK corporation tax as ultimate ownership in Cayman Islands. No contribution for schools, hospitals, roads, defence, public services, welfare etc. No wonder he is keen to avoid new EU tax laws.

I'll be having a Jethro Tull themed sleepover party tonight in my Lords office. Each album will be played & discussed in sequence in between votes to break the Tory filibuster. Bring snacks & your favourite Tull accessory (sporran, flute, beard). All welcome across party divides.
