Yes as long as offshore savings and income are reported and income is taxed at UK levels (eg UK taxes income at the difference between UK rates and the country rate applicable to the account eg Cayman Islands).

Yes, but only as long all loopholes for the wealthy citizens who abuse the system to avoid taxes are closed. Especially big companies and the rich.
