Contributing sentiments towards policy:

43% : Mr Miliband, the shadow climate change secretary, told BBC Breakfast: "The issue here that Rishi Sunak needs to answer - and I think we do need to be cautious about people's spouses being brought into public domain but I think it is a legitimate question - which is, at a time when people are facing incredibly strained finances and Rishi Sunak is raising taxes, he says to pay for public services, we've got his immediate family sheltering a large part of their income from UK taxes.
42% : Akshata Murty, estimated to be worth hundreds of millions of pounds, confirmed the arrangement that means she is not legally entitled to pay tax in Britain on foreign income.

40% : When it comes to tax, the rules state that you do not pay UK tax on foreign income or gains if they are less than £2,000 a year and you do not bring them into the UK.
39% : "I think there is a legitimate public question about whether that is the right decision because he's the guy asking us to pay more in taxes."
