I do love #taxtwitter. Robust exchanges on #paradisepapers help journalists like me better understand, report on and convey complex issues. I don't agree with everything in this (Burkina Faso, for example) but makes good points. Thanks, @MForstater !https://twitter.com/MForstater/status/930841054533881858 …
