Jeremy Corbyn and David Cameron faced off today in the first session of Prime Minister's Questions following the Panama Papers scandal.

made some ground by calling on David Cameron to do more to crack down on tax evasion and avoidance.

Cameron defended what the government had already done, while failing to commit to more action against tax havens or explain why Conservative MEPs voted against EU measures to tackle big multinationals shifting their tax liabilities.

The SNP's Angus Robertson landed the most powerful blow on the issue, however, hitting Cameron with stats to suggest the Government has 10 times more people dealing with benefit fraud compared to tax evasion.
