It is currently worth less than he bought for but if he makes a profit it will go to the taxpayer..<br /><br />I don't know what else anyone could ask of him.. time to point your fire elsewhere eh?James Hardingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14115431.post-22201623451279330072009-05-31T12:28:25.667+01:002009-05-31T12:28:25.667+01:00Anon, when I read the details - buying luxury furn...Anon, when I read the details - buying luxury furniture from David Cameron's mother-in-law, I think it is actually worse than what Julie Kirkbride has been up to. Do you think when it comes to selling the property Michael Gove will give the taxpayer a cut? Not likely is it, so I don't see the difference with what Blears has done. Both say they have kept to the rules and paid some money back - both should be sacked.Neil Hardinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01333739272733802133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14115431.post-56724584608482089042009-05-31T12:09:55.809+01:002009-05-31T12:09:55.809+01:00it's probably because hazel blears sold a property...it's probably because hazel blears sold a property after 'flipping', fraudulently claiming it was her first home (for tax purposes) at the same time as she told the fees office it her second home (for claiming purposes) in the process. <br /><br />michael gove's case was completely different. he has two homes, one in surrey and one in london. he changed the designation of which one was his second home when he moved from surrey to london, as required by the rules. he never sold either house and clearly therefore made no capital gain, let alone an untaxed one. all he did was claim for lavish furniture, money which i believe he has now paid back.<br /><br />that's probably why david cameron is defending him!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
