Jeremy Corbyn thinks the wealthy don't pay enough tax - he's wrong

Some years ago, I worked in the House of Commons as Westminster correspondent for The Independent.

I had a free-roaming brief, and part of my job was to get to know as many MPs as possible, from both sides, left and right. Most were friendly and willing to have a chat, and several shared stories. One, though, stood out resolutely as always not wanting to know.

While I knew left-wing MPs and was able to share a cup of tea or a beer with them, Jeremy Corbyn remained aloof. Attempts to engage with him came to nought.
