Originally posted by AtW View PostLet's say he worked for 10 years in Govt with PM like salary of £150k, so that's £1.5 mln over that period and half paid in taxes (assumption here), lots spend on stuff so not much cash should remain for a deposit on such house. Now assuming he gets x3 his current salary then it would mean he should be earning £2.5 mln per year just now.
£8 mln is a pretty large amount for a loan and I think when recently resigned public official makes such purchase then HMRC and police should automatically open investigation to make sure it's all legit."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

Originally posted by AtW View PostWhere he got the money from, £8 mln with all taxes paid means he should have somehow earned £16 mln or something in a period of a few years since wasn't high ranking official?
This country should make all tax returns public information just in like in USA - crowdsource identification of those who pay 3.5% income tax as well in exchange for half the tax recovered after successful investigation.
