Jeremy Corbyn has asked David Cameron if ordinary people can pay the same rate of tax as Google.

Corbyn, leader of the opposition, opened Prime Minister's Questions with a request from Geoff, a working man over the age of 30.

"Geoff speaks for millions of people when he says to me, 'Is there a scheme that I can join that has the same rate of tax as Google?'" Corbyn said.

Cameron answered: “What I would say to Geoff is that his taxes are going down under this Government and Google’s taxes are going up under this Government."

Cameron said Tony Blair, Gordon Brown and Alistair Darling are to blame for Google's low rate of tax, not him. Corbyn reminded Cameron that he is the Prime Minister currently responsible for addressing taxes. Full story...
