#ResignCameron is trending (Picture: Getty Images/Twitter)

We know a lot more about David Cameron’s financial affairs than we did last week – and some are calling for him to resign because of it.

The PM admitted he had owned a stake in an offshore business owned by his late father, named in the Panama Papers leak.

Cameron himself says it was above board – he paid tax on it all and sold his stake for around £30,000 before he took office.

The full story about what he said last night asks a lot more questions than it answers.

But not everyone agrees it was totally okay.

Edward Snowden, the fugitive who leaked reams of data about government snooping, has mocked Cameron for wanting to keep his business dealings to himself in the wake of the Panama Papers leak, saying ‘Oh, now he’s interested in privacy’.



He also appeared to join calls for Cameron to quit, as the hashtag #ResignCameron began trending this morning.

Responding to someone saying they hoped the PM would resign, Snowden said, ‘With respect, hope is not a strategy’, posted along with information about a protest to be held outside Downing Street tomorrow.

People going along are invited to dress for the occasion: ‘Because so many UK companies are based in Panama, the British Virgin Islands and other tropical tax haven hotspots we want to make them feel at home.

‘Hawaiian shirts, tropical colours, sunglasses and (of course) Panama hats. If you’ve got a blow up beach ball then bring that along.’

I don't care if the PM paid tax on a £30k payout from a scheme that itself hasn't paid tax in 30 years. It's still hideous.#resigncameron — Futile Democracy (@Futiledemocracy) April 8, 2016
