As the British prime minister faces calls to resign, it turns out he isn’t the only member of the Cameron family under scrutiny. It has emerged that his wife Samantha Cameron’s ‘special adviser’ Rosie Lyburn is being paid £53,000 a year from the austerity-hit public purse to help organise her wardrobe and social life. The Independent reports: The aide – normally a position for people who help Government ministers – receives up to £53,000 for advising the prime minister’s 44-year-old wife, according to the Mail Online.

After four long years of ensuring the detail behind the US Government’s role in running guns to Mexico (aka "Fast and Furious") never saw the light of day, the "most transparent administration in history" has finally released the requested documents to the House Oversight Committee. It is not lost on anyone that this is taking place well after it could do any significant damage to the Obama administration.

Following the release of the Panama Papers, and UK PM David Cameron's admission that he had a stake in his father's offshore trust, earlier today the Prime Minister admitted that he "mishandled the fallout" from his links to the Panama offshore fund scandal, SkyNews reports.  

The PM has been accused of "misleading the public" after admitting he made money from the sale of those shares, which he disposed of in 2010.  Downing Street had initially said Mr Cameron's financial affairs were a "private matter", before backtracking.

Thousands of protesters have arrived in Central London calling for the resignation of prime minister David Cameron and tougher action on tax avoidance. Following the revelations about his tax affairs in the Panama papers, demonstrators are asking Mr Cameron to either “close tax loopholes or resign” Along with the protest in Downing Street, smaller regional demonstrations are being help across the country.
