CAMERON UNDER PRESSURE OVER OFFSHORE SHARES

UK Prime Minister David Cameron is facing calls to resign after he admitted having owned shares in an offshore trust.

Mr Cameron says the trust set up by his late father was not used to avoid UK tax, and that he sold the shares before he entered Downing Street in 2010.

He'd been linked to the Panama Papers scandal after his father was named in a huge leak of financial data.

Labour MP John Mann says the Prime Minister must go.

CAMERON ADMITS TO OFFSHORE TRUST
