4004 BC: According to 17th-century Archbishop of Armagh James Ussher, this is the day God created the world. The latest to be dragged dripping from the trough is Treasury Minister Kitty Ussher, resigning after less than two weeks in the job because she got caught dodging capital gains tax (she said her Burnley home was her principal residence for one month in 2007, and that saved her pounds 17,000). Details that would have allowed the public to identify interest claimed on so-called "phantom mortgages" - such as in the case of Elliot Morley, former Environment Minister or MPs who were able to avoid paying capital gains tax on the sale of properties such as Kitty Ussher, the Treasury Minister forced to resign, were also excluded. |
