    In the past he was a good humanitarian, anti racist and took principled anti war stances while others on the Labour left took cabinet posts or kept their mouths shut.

    Then he became a shameless self publicist.

    Now he is an anti semetic, money grabbing, right wing, conspiracy theorist who chats **** and is an embarrassment to those who didn't become money grabbing scum

    It's been reported that Sunak's Wikipedia-free wife pays £30,000 a year to maintain her non-dom status

    Which pretty much answers how much she'd have to pay in tax, given she believes it's worth paying £30k each year to avoid paying a sum with an additional digit either at the front or the back of that figure

    Another thing about the Green Card is that it's supposed to be a permanent thing. It makes you a US taxpayer for life, so would be interested if they are still doing so. It's also quite hard to get for a Brit (Brits aren't eligible for the Green Card lottery for example), so would be interested how he came by one.

    He's got an MBA from Stanford and his billionaire father-in-law's connections probably helped, too.
    The timing of his work history seems a little vague, but I assume he picked it up at some point from 2004 to 2009.

    Nothing says 'I'm devoted to public service in my country' quite like effectively swearing allegiance to another country whilst holding Ministerial and Cabinet positions in the former....<doh><grr>
