The new Chief Secretary to the Treasury, Danny Alexander, avoided paying capital gains tax when he sold his taxpayer-funded second home at a profit, The Daily Telegraph can disclose.

A few short years ago Alexander was a publicity officer for the forestry comission, how the hell does that qualify him to help make the big decisions regerding the nations economy ? :o :o
I think its a shame about Laws because he knows economics inside out and would have been good at the job. Its pretty rare to have a minister who is actually capable and qualified to do the job he is appointed to.
I would also like to know the background to him being exposed. It is obviously a good thing for us the electorate that he was, but it smacks of dirty tricks - who instigated it and why ? ;)
