Tory donor, tax affairs, Oakeshott on the case: some things haven’t changed

Liberal Democrat peer Lord Oakeshott is clearly not put off by coalition from his pursuit of Tory donors and their tax statuses. Today it is Jon Wood, whose tax affairs have been in the papers with Lord Oakeshott saying, “Now is the time to take big money out of British politics”. You can read more here.

I have read today that Asil Nadir may donate money to the tories..AGAIN.. this has a nasty smell about it so maybe Lord Oakeshott could try and confirm if this is true or not,if it is then its a god damn disgrace.
