Man I feel bad now. I was just enjoying the idea that those criteria might be applied equally, bringing multinationals' tax manipulations into scope. Sigh.

As I’ve said about thirty times, profit shifting and tax evasion are different problems with different solutions. Nobody benefits from muddling them. The authors of this report understand that. You don’t.

Which is why the report doesn't "highlight multinational abuse", or discus it at all. You misunderstood it, which is fine, but your refusal to admit that is weird.

Dan, I don't suppose you really imagine I thought that. My alternate tweet was the one showing zero on a text search for "multinational", but this made me chuckle more

I have no idea what you think. If you really believe the £25bn nonsense you put out this morning then anything’s possible.

I don't really know where the aggression comes from Dan, but if you do want to understand the £25bn estimate, it's fairly straightforward - /
