Miliband declares war on offshore jurisdictions

"LABOUR leader Ed Miliband is demanding the UK government forces the Isle of Man, Jersey and Guernsey to reveal the identity of British tax evaders with money ‘hidden’ in the islands, it’s being reported today (Sunday).

Miliband, under fire over a lack of strength in his leadership of the opposition party, is said to be preparing to call this week for negotiations to begin and will demand ministers follow up the talks with a threat to put the islands on the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development blacklist.

He claims the move could raise £2.4 billion for the UK exchequer."
