The Paradise Papers - a huge leak of documents about offshore financial activities – has raised a barrage of questions about the activities of corporations, super-rich individuals and even the royal family. This week we’re discussing whether Prince Charles in particular should apologise for his private estate’s dealings, and we’re asking what can and should be changed to make sure everyone pays their fair share of tax. Plus, as Theresa May loses her second cabinet minister in a week, how much longer can this chaos continue at the heart of government? All that and more coming up on a jam-packed episode of the Update The State podcast.
