@Lord_Collins The agenda has to be a rapid growth in African prosperity- leveraging Uk and international technology and finding the funding models that create local content and wealth on the Continent - business as normal is not enough…

@LisaEdw60067076 @JimHarraHMRC @HMRCpressoffice @BBCNews @FinancialTimes @DavidRutley @RishiSunak @Jeremy_Hunt @HMRCgovuk @MartinSLewis @BBCWalesNews It is an iniquitous business model ostensibly being offered by.

Preferred HMRC supplier "Tax Tree" charges 37.5% in fees for writing a cheque for HMRC. No contract - No Advice - No Agreement! HMRC sent my cheque to Tax Tree. Why not to me?

Why did Tax Tree get given my money? Isn't £175.70 a lot of money for writing one cheque? Why did HMRC not pay me directly.... ?
