Blears marched to cashpoint?

Well, at least she is waving a big cheque around of taxes she owns on the sale of her second home:

Hazel Blears has said she will pay £13,332 in capital gains tax on the sale of her “second home” after criticism about her expenses claims.

The communities secretary told Commons staff her London flat was her “second home” on which she claimed expenses.

But when she sold it she did not pay CGT, due on homes the Inland Revenue does not consider a “main residence”.

She said she had acted within the rules but knew people were “really angry” and paying it was “the right thing to do”.

[…]

She was accused of changing the property she designated as her “second home” twice in one year – first claiming her Salford home was her second home, then changing it to a London flat which she sold before buying another London flat and claiming expenses on that.
