@GarethDauncey Thanks for having me on the podcast for a lovely chat. Real honour to join the list of wonderful people you’ve spoken with. I might even brave a listen!

[Greg Wright @gregwrightYP]

Perhaps it's time for the Prime Minister to meet the tireless #loancharge campaigners?

[Michael Burne @mjburne]

Superb. LMAO.

The #LoanChargeScandal is next #PostOfficeScandal but sadly affecting more than 65,000 and with tragic consequences for families through 10 suicides and many more.

Goliath thought he would prefer to fight David. As Mr Bates has shown in recent times the “little man” can win!

[Arthur @Arthur81288011]

It's clear that @hmtreasury NEVER intended the #LoanCharge review to be independent from the start and, as @loanchargeAPPG reported, it was made clear before it started by HMT "We do need to make a fist of restricting the scope of any review"

As confirmed by #HMRC there has so far been:

10 Suicides
13 Attempted Suicides
24 Serious Injuries

As APPROVED in the @HouseofCommons #LoanCharge motion on 18th January:

"...believes that the Morse Review was limited and not genuinely independent of HM Treasury and HMRC"

Someone needs to be held ACCOUNTABLE for the loss of life - just as in the #PostOfficeScandal

And the longer that Ministers dither, the more risk of more DEATHS

[Loan Charge & Taxpayer Fairness APPG @loanchargeAPPG]

“#HMRC wreck lives”. It is wrong the way HMRC use huge sums of taxpayers’ money to threaten individuals & small companies over tax disputes (whilst doing sweetheart deals with huge corporations). It is an abuse of power & has caused bankruptcies & breakdowns. We need reform. 1/3

[Loan Charge & Taxpayer Fairness APPG @loanchargeAPPG]

On #WorldMentalHealthDay we urge the Prime Minister & Chancellor to listen & agree to find a fair resolution to the #LoanChargeScandal to avoid further #LoanChargeSuicides & numerous bankruptcies. The unfair #LoanCharge is ruining lives & mental wellbeing

[Carbon Law Partners @carbonlawptnrs]

Working as a qualified lawyer, it's something you've always wanted.

But recently you're not really feeling it.

Deadlines, billing pressures, client demands, long hours… surely there's more to life than this?

Here's something that we've been thinking about recently...
What skills can we learn from beyond the legal sector?
Being inspired ourselves, we are firm believers in looking outside the legal industry for inspiration.

Here are just a few to think about 👇

We’re deeply concerned that the huge discovery assessment demands issued to many individuals will force people/families to have to sell their homes, directly contravening assurances given by HMRC & Ministers. If you’re in this position please email us [email protected]

[WrathOfMyBombast 🇺🇦 @Stephen41792571]

1/3 This FOI (https://t.co/76WjfJd9da) clearly demonstrates, yet again, the lengths that @hmtreasury & @HMRCgovuk went to in order to ensure that the #LoanCharge review was anything but independent.

[WrathOfMyBombast 🇺🇦 @Stephen41792571]

2/3 Quote from Page 37 "..We recognise that you might want to try to meet the PM’s commitment in some form, as a way of demonstrating that he’s meeting his promise..". Immediately establishing the idea that all that's needed is the impression that something is seen to be..

[WrathOfMyBombast 🇺🇦 @Stephen41792571]

3/3 being done, rather than actually undertaking a "properly independent review" which is what the PM promised. Two options are presented, only 1 of which HMT & HMRC had any intention of allowing; the one "with or without an independent judge". Disgraceful

What's your take on office-appropriate attire in 2023?
Since the rise of zoom meetings, business from the waist up has become normal. As offices open back up, what are your thoughts on office dress-codes?
Ours? Wear what you want because who you are will always be more important.
