David Cameron insisted he had paid taxes in the UK on dividends received and that there was nothing illegal in his approach.
Calls for fusé resignation were immediately from the camp of the Labour opposition. “I’m not sure that the British people will forgive him , said the deputy chairman of Labour, Tom Watson.
