    When that opinion is that flawed by calling Rishi out to be as bad as the rest of them because they've used money they earned outside of politics to buy a swimming pool then it's hard to take seriously. You don't need to shut up if you don't want but I did tell you to take on board some facts to base that opinion on and you might find it will change in certain instances.. but you carried on. So yeah, if you opinion isn't based on a single fact that's been given to you and you still carry on I'll happily tell you to shut up. Politicians are bad, the system is crap and all that but don't spout that opinion on a thread that has nothing to do with him being a politician.

To complain about his wealth and link it to being a politician is neither correct or healthy. Yeah, call out the scroungers and low life ministers but taking a swipe at the Rishi's calling them the usual parasite politician rhetoric when they are spending their money they earned outside of politics makes you look like a bit of a cretin to be honest.

    Rise above it and apply some actual logic and fact to your sanctimonious ramblings and people might be able to take it a little more seriously. It'll also make you a little bit happier in life.....BIDI. Save your ire for those that really deserve it.

    If you mean MPs, then you are right. It's no secret that there are specific exemptions and differences in law for sitting MPs.

    Rishi and his wife are by far the richest to live in #10 but they are ranked 222nd on the UK rich list. The rich people in the UK are in the main not politicians, even though there are many rich among them.

    I heard about that on the radio this morning. It's a great initiative.

    I fully expect that Rishi, his wife, extended family etc are taking full advantage of every tax minimising loophole that is legally allowed. I would expect that behaviour from anyone.

    Whether it's morally acceptable or not is a different matter. I personally don't have an issue with it as long as those same tax minimising loopholes are available to everyone and the rules are enforced equally.

    I don't think that telling him he has to live in a two-up two-down in Hull and gift everything he's earned to the NHS because he's very rich is morally acceptable either. Where's the incentive to get a good job, work hard, take advantage of the opportunities your parents (immigrant parents being of the more pushy sort) worked hard to make available to you?

    Ultimately, if you don't like that tax minimising loopholes exist then vote in a party who will do away with them.

    Complaining that he can afford to upgrade the electricity supply to heat his swimming pool just sounds like sour grapes and jealousy.
