Chris Huhne and taxation

Christopher Murray Paul-Huhne was born to a middle class family and was educated at the exclusive fee-paying Westminster School. Christopher dropped his double-barreled surname before arriving at Oxford University and shortened his first name to Chris; thus becoming 'Chris Huhne'. After completing his education at the Sorbonne and Magdalen College, Oxford, he graduated from Oxford with a first-class degree in PPE (Philosophy, Politics and Economics). Whilst at university Chris Huhne was active in student politics supporting, you will not be surprised to learn, the Labour Party.

Chris Huhne went into financial journalism after university working as an economic commentator for The Guardian, The Independent and The Independent on Sunday; a nice collection of left wing papers. After finishing journalism he went into the City where he amassed a fortune of what was estimated as around £3.5 million. This was from his company Sovereign Ratings which claimed to "scientifically measure the risks of investing in different countries". Later on he became managing director of Fitch IBCA, and then vice-chairman of Fitch Ratings.

Remember the above when the exceedingly rich Christopher Murray Paul-Huhne, who used his City amassed fortune to buy seven homes is lectures the British public on belt tightening and the evils of City bonuses.
