PM told to sort out Britain’s own tax system shambles before lecturing other countries

DAVID CAMERON was told yesterday to sort out Britain’s tax avoidance situation before lecturing other countries about corruption after he made disparaging comments about Nigeria and Afghanistan.

The Prime Minister described the two countries as “fantastically corrupt” in a conversation with the Queen that was picked up by a nearby camera crew.

His remarks overshadowed the first day of the government’s anti-corruption summit, taking place in the shadow of the Panama Papers scandal, that representatives of both states are attending.
