@gregwrightYP@yorkshirepost And other instances of HMRC abuses / injustice (IR35 and film tax relief introduced by Gordon Brown in 1997 only to be completely misrepresented and attacked by HMRC post 2008 financial crash and change of government in 2010).
Congratulations Spencer! I know you must be really busy, but it would be great to interview you about Labour's approach to the #loancharge in the near future for @yorkshirepost . Have a great afternoon.
Thank you @SarahEGabbai for your continued support for the 67,000 #LoanCharge victims and their dependents / families. @UKLabour@Keir_Starmer@RachelReevesMP@jamesmurray_ldn@darrenpjones@SpenceLivermore

Good. @TulipSiddiq has historically been sympathetic to Loan Charge-affected taxpayers. Hopefully @Keir_Starmer will ask her to be part of the solution.
Update: I have written to @TulipSiddiq to congratulate her on her recent appointment and to ask her to bring our letter to Sir Keir’s attention, with a copy enclosed.
@Jesse_Norman@hungryBiller You refused to constructively engage with the @loanchargeAPPG JUST as the @Conservatives did with numerous issues, such as the 3.8M excluded and the junior doctors to name just 2 examples
It’s all documented Jesse and certain to be brought up in a post office style inquiry

@Jesse_Norman Congratulations on your win,however 67,000 #loancharge victims will remember that as FST, you showed them no compassion (10 have taken their lives) and left the #loanchargescandal unresolved before passing the baton. Labour have committed to review and hopefully resolve.
Absolutely true -Jesse stood up in parliament, said anyone with accentuating circumstances could continue to settle - my wife had cancer - I am not allowed to settle and I’m now paying HMRC £500 a mth for next 15 years and I won’t have settled. IMHO @Jesse_Norman told an untruth
@LCAG_2019@UKLabour must not make the same mistake of leaving the HMT & HMRC fox to guard the hen-coop, as @Conservative Govt did with Morse Review. FOIs showed the last thing ministers wanted was a truly independent review that would look beyond HMRC's contractor sole liability narrative
The Labour Party have clearly recognised inadequacies of Morse Review into #LoanChargeScandal and need for comprehensive #FairResolution. Now is time for comprehensive inquiry into #LoanCharge and justice for the thousands of families effected.
#SouthNorthamptonshire do the right thing on Thursday.
1. Go out and use your vote
2. Vote tactically to get the Tories out https://t.co/yPZMQsyOdF
Don't be complacent & allow a Tory in again who will not speak for you or stand up for your issues
