George Osborne to publicly explain why he has failed to tackle tax evasion.

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

George Osborne has comprehensively failed to tackle tax evasion and avoidance, while, at the same time, has attacked the poor, sick, disabled, and vulnerable, as well as those who have no political voice. This is unjust and has to stop.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

If you would like the Government to take specific action to tackle tax evasion, you could start a petition calling for that.

If you would like the Chancellor to make an assessment of the extent of tax evasion in the UK, you could start a petition about that.
