Sky News presenter Leah Boleto grilled Treasury Minister James Murray over the concerning rise in suicide attempts linked to an HMRC tax crackdown. This came after HMRC were accused of harassing people who were "mis-sold" when they signed up for a "loan charge" scheme that the government declared as tax avoidance, and as a result, MPs and campaigners have branded the independent review as a "cover-up". Leah questioned the politician about the "high-pressure tactics used by HMRC on these loan charges," she added: "You campaigned when you were in opposition and said that it was a form of harassment and that people needed protecting, what are you playing at the moment?" Murray responded: "The loan charge has affected a number of people; we make commitments in opposition to have an independent review and that independent review is now underway.
I need to limit what I say about that." This is a breaking live TV story, the Showbiz Express.co.
