Tax isn't a dirty word
•
Welcome to the PoliticsJOE Podcast.
And to another day in the General Election campaign.
Why is tax being treated like a dirty word? Do you like it when politicians cry? And should Welsh FM Vaughan Gething have accepted a £200,000 donation to his leadership campaign from a man convicted of environmental offences?
Ava and Oli chat all of these questions and more.
