I'm surprised that he managed to run his constituency and all his other relevant expenses for £7.

Perhaps he really does have a money tree smile.

According to Newsthump, he didn’t declare the salary for leader of the opposition because he didn’t know it was him.

It looks like MP salary and Ministerial/LOO pay are each reported on additional pages to the tax return, so maybe whoever amalgamated the details did it wrong. Storm in a teacup, I guess, unless the amounts were presented like that to give the view he 'only' had an MPs salary plus a pension ..
Once might be a misunderstanding. Doing it twice after the publicity of the first time means he's either very stupid or evading tax. Or both.

He didn't, as that's a girl's name.

He called him Hilary.

On Victoria Live this morning. He was talking about PIPs.

Surprisingly, slightly left of centre Vicki asking him how many things were going to be paid for using Inheritance Tax and Corporation Tax and 50% Income Tax.

So far he has spent the money several times over.

Jezza's reply was along the lines of "well, obviously, some money will have to be found from other sources" smile

He thinks he really has got a magic money tree; deluded chap.

Let's be brutally honest about this. JC is a bumbling, out-of-touch, ill-briefed, vindictive, head-in-the-clouds and financially-out-of-touch Old Buffer, who should be maintained in power by the Conservative party for as long as he is useful to them.

I wonder if Corbyn would still want to stay on after losing in 2020.

That was a hilarious Labour Magic Money Tree moment in history.

Both the BBC and Channel 4 News reported that Labour said they would pay for an increase in NHS funding via their mansion tax on higher value homes. The previous year Ed Miliband had already committed to spending the revenue raised from a mansion tax on the return of the 10p tax rate. Then around the same time as the NHS pledge from Miliband, Rachel Reeves (on Daily Politics) stated that the money raised from a mansion tax would be put towards paying down the deficit.

Labour must operate under the principle that nobody notices how utterly incompetent they are. If only they noticed.

silly

many of his policies are sound
SH may know this because, like black holes, many of JC's policies are out of sight.

I'd go for risible hot air rather than sound and definitely no light.

Then again, JC's hot air is in the form of sound.
