In the wake of the scandal currently rocking the Prime Minister, yesterday, on BBC One's Andrew Marr show, Labour Party Leader, Jeremy Corbyn suggested that everyone "involved in public life" should reveal their income tax returns.
"I think it's probably a good thing if we move generally in that direction so that everybody knows what influences are at play" Jeremy Corbyn said "Money and politics have to be treated with the greatest sense of openness possible, so you know what influences are at work on any individual on whatever political or any other decisions they make."
Scotland's First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, has now published her tax returns along with Scottish Labour Leader, Kezia Dugdale, who said "There is an obligation on all of us who seek to serve the public to be transparent...Not since the MPs expenses scandal has there been such palpable anger at the sense of unfairness at the heart of our society. Politicians need to not only play by the rules, they need to be seen to be playing by the rules."
With Labour Party leaders revealing their returns and calling for others in "public life" to do likewise, will Salford City Mayor, Ian Stewart, publish his tax returns for the last six years in the name of what Kezia Dugdale called "an obligation on all of us who seek to serve the public to be transparent"?
The Salford Star awaits a response...
