Hello

[DJ Mek @DeeJayMek]

First non-US winner?? That’s making history… (badom-tish)

[Dominic Sandbrook @dcsandbrook]

It's an incredible honour for @TheRestHistory to be named @ApplePodcasts Show of the Year - the first ever non-US winner.

It's something @holland_tom and I never anticipated when he suggested doing the show in 2020, and tribute to the hard work of our wonderful & talented team.

New settlement opportunity those not settled. "The recommendations of the Review, if accepted by the Government, would potentially raise questions of fairness for those taxpayers who have previously settled their liability."

[Andy-LC_Affected-NowOn Bsky.app @Andy53668320]

It doesn’t treat everyone fairly though - why not? I settled based on previous terms with fines and, APNs - I am still digging myself and family out of the struggle to make payment - why are the “fairer” terms not retroactively applied to people who did settle?

[Sarah Gabbai @SarahEGabbai]

Glad to see that the Government has accepted (and in some cases gone even further than) the recommendations in @Ray_McCann55 ‘s independent Loan Charge review.

@DavidDavisMP Remember the Loan Charge Mr Davis? well the latest “independent” review recommendations have been accepted to go in to next finance bill and will apply only to people who did not settle previously - it should be applied retroactively to make it fair to all affected

[Andy-LC_Affected-NowOn Bsky.app @Andy53668320]

@ArmadilloSupprt Any changes to settlement terms should be retroactively applied to folk who previously settled, I am still working my way out making payment at the expense (mentally, financially & associated impact to my family) of what these new settlement terms are looking to address 🤬😡😤

[Dave Chaplin - CEO, ContractorCalculator @ContractorCalc]

The #loancharge was punitively retroactive, and retrospective in its effect. Never should have happened. It's significantly undermined trust in the tax system, undermined certainty, and the rule of law.

An independent inquiry is needed to understand how the policy process failed, resulting in such catastrophic consequences.

[Mike Galsworthy @mikegalsworthy]

YOU’RE glad?!

We’ve been banging our heads against this brick wall for years.

If @wesstreeting & the government is finally going to discuss the economic (and NHS/health) impact of Brexit… then fantastic, because we need that mature conversation.

[Greg Wright @gregwrightYP]

Another brilliant report on the #loancharge from @gurpreetnarwan. One of the biggest scandals of our times. It truly feels like "state-sponsored bullying". Here's my analysis of latest FOI revelations for @yorkshirepost: https://t.co/OJ4OXM8plw

@wesstreeting If only you could do what @HMRCgovuk does with 50k #LoanChargeScandal victims he scammed via his AML scheme biz, eh? You could then bludgeon him into despair and ruin, removing any right to appeal and taking his assets.
What's that? That only works on plebs not spivs?? Oh 🤨

[Andy-LC_Affected-NowOn Bsky.app @Andy53668320]

@DanNeidle IR35 is flawed, and if the argument for it includes relying on fairness to PAYE tax payers then the argument is also flawed.
Tax could be and should be simplified - resulting in fairness to all tax payers & massive savings for Gov & HMRC

“American rot shoved into an ill fitted suit.” Fucking nailed it.

Sunday is the 10th anniversary of our first Panorama. We had a Post Office document stating a Subpostmaster hadn’t committed theft shortly before she was charged with theft, and interviewed a Fujitsu whistleblower who accessed Subpostmasters’ accounts without their knowledge.

[Gabrielle O'Donovan @GabrielleO61890]

A STORY THAT COULD CHANGE YOUR VIEW OF THE WORLD - What happens when the UK government tax authority wrongfully accuses an innocent woman of massive tax fraud related to contraband smuggling?
In Gino’s Contraband, Gabrielle O’Donovan fights to prove her innocence — and exposes a system rigged against the citizen.

@Andy53668320 "prolonged and painful with very little progress." - had exactly the same.

[Andy-LC_Affected-NowOn Bsky.app @Andy53668320]

@fredsirieix1 @OctopusEnergy Not had the same outcome with a long-standing issue with @OctopusEnergy, in fact the opposite of your experience being prolonged and painful with very little progress…
