00:00I was lucky enough yesterday morning to appear on the front page of the Sunday Times
00:04and the journalist made all sorts of inferences about me. He then did tweet
00:12a little bit later in the day and I'll just read out his tweet because it's quite important.
00:18From Gabriel Pogrand, the Labour Party Properties Limited is a company that's
00:25owned properties for decades. And it turns out in the last 25 years, Labour Party Properties Limited
00:34has earned over £30 million in rental income. Proper money, £30 million. How much corporation tax,
00:43given that the Sunday Times have been criticising me for not paying corporation tax,
00:46how much corporation tax do we think Labour Party Properties Limited has paid in 25 years?
00:52Any guesses? Zero. A big fat zero. Because their property costs and their administration expenses,
01:04coincidentally, I'm sure it's just a coincidence, have matched or exceeded the rental income.
01:12I mean, talk about kettle, pot. Talk about hypocrisy. Utterly extraordinary. Oh, I nearly forgot.
01:22They haven't filed their accounts for the last year in question in the appropriate time frame. No, no,
01:28they're six months overdue.
