Politician, he's still breathing which is why he shouldnt be trusted.

"If you get a seven-figure bonus paid in share options to get round income tax. "

He's a Grade 1 Moron. No income tax is paid on the options because at grant they are usually worth essentially zero.

Hm. Well manicured hands, tailored suit, silk tie and high quality shirt.

Artfully tousled hair and possibly even a facial.

Couldn't get a gander at his teeth.
