@DennyTWright @PolitlcsUK A zero hours contract is different to being a casual employee or freelance, both of which will still be a thing. A zero hours contract says that your employer doesn’t have to give you any work and your not allowed to go and work for anyone else without their permission.

@PapaCobo We should go for a pint this time! Reminisce on the glory days of the cobo network.

@PapaCobo And if you manage to get a London pad it will earn you the equivalent of another wage every year in increased value.

[Matthew Dove @MatthewDove1]

@PapaCobo Yeah, getting a deposit for a London pad is a big ask. But IF you can manage to get on the London ladder then your kinda sorted. Trade up in a couple of years and if you want to move back to Scotland (or anywhere out of London) after a while then you can have a palace.

@PapaCobo Get down here!

[Matthew Dove @MatthewDove1]

@PapaCobo It’s ok to admit how much you fancied me now. We live in more enlightened times.

[Matthew Dove @MatthewDove1]

@PapaCobo I don’t come out very often, but I’m always keeping an eye on you from afar. I’m a lot like Jesus, only not made up.

[Matthew Dove @MatthewDove1]

@PapaCobo Both. + earrings.

Wow! We did it!! 12 million views!!

By working TOGETHER we have sent a message to UK media that if they won’t hold this Prime Minister to account for his relentless lying we will damn well do it ourselves!

When will you catch up @BBCNews @bbclaurak?

@Sharmisthra @Rodfather73 @JolyonMaugham Although technically you are correct of course if you run a limited company that only employs yourself, self employed in all but name, then really all the tax generated by your company is also generated by you.

[Matthew Dove @MatthewDove1]

@JolyonMaugham How is that bad reporting? I can tell you from first hand experience that it’s true.

[Matthew Dove @MatthewDove1]

@DeborahMeaden Single dir ltds can’t furlough themselves without stopping halting biz and then only receive 80% of their minimal salary (usually £719pm) Only ~1.5% of those loan applications have been processed. SME grants not applicable to biz’s with no property or have rates inc in rent.

[Matthew Dove @MatthewDove1]

@RishiSunak If your a small business with premises but your rates are included in your rent then your not eligible for these grants. Completely unfair! #forgottenLTD

Petition: Coronavirus Support Package for Directors / Shareholders of small Limited Co's. https://t.co/HjpfBEq6CK

[Matthew Dove @MatthewDove1]

@RishiSunak Will there be further measures to support “freelancers” who work through micro ltd companies (PSCs)and pay themselves in dividends? Industries like the creative sector rely on them and they will be decimated without urgent help. #AskRishi #forgottenltd #2MillionReasonsWhy

[Matthew Dove @MatthewDove1]

@LloydsBank apparently demanding debenture over entire small businesses in return for government backed covid-19 loans. Thousands of micro businesses looking at folding. Remember when we bailed Lloyd’s out? #lloydsbank #COVIDー19 #SmallBusiness

[Matthew Dove @MatthewDove1]

@Emmabarnett @bbc5live Like so many as a sole director of my micro sized ltd company in film & TV production I have seen pretty much all of my business evaporate and am not entitled to the level of protection put in place for self employed or employed. Looking at £500pm with 2 kids.

@aemulantes @Aceditor @paullewismoney It has nothing to do with your tax circumstances and it makes zero sense to leave anyone out of the gov want to achieve those goals.

[Matthew Dove @MatthewDove1]

@aemulantes @Aceditor @paullewismoney All that nonsense aside, the reason for the gov money is to A: keep the economy ticking over in hybernation mode so there it’s still there to get going again when this ends & B: to stop people having to go out to work to support themselves and spreading C-19 >

[Matthew Dove @MatthewDove1]

@aemulantes @paullewismoney In fact on average a PCS sole director company pays more into the exchequer than a self employed person does.
