Constituents at the chancellor’s Richmond constituency give their verdict on his wife, Akshata Murty’s non-dom status
All was quiet on Friday outside the £1.5m North Yorkshire manor house the Sunaks occasionally call home – apart from the builders beavering away on the swimming pool being constructed in the paddock by the family lake.
One of the workers said he had never met their clients, but he knew all about the tax arrangements of Akshata Murty, better known round these parts as Mrs Sunak. Was he bothered? He shrugged. “It’s what they do.” Who? “Rich people. They don’t pay tax and poor people do.”
