- how much does the PM and his Chancellor really think they are "all in it together"
- (and this is the clincher) why the Tory press are hounding the PM over what is, when you stand back, a non-story in terms of wrong doing

I am thinking the Tory press are using this Panana leak to wound the PM and spin out this issue for as longer as possible to try and weaken the Remain position. Damage Cameron and you potentially damage Remain ..

* unpopular in the sense that the vast majority of tax payers have no choice in paying their taxes where the 1% have "options"
