@RishiSunak I don’t want a bloody loan. When other self-employed people are getting up to £2500 per month, why are small Ltd Company directors still getting left behind?
@Andrew_Adonis 3/5... dereliction of duty. PLEASE search #ForgottenLtd before making any more proclamations. We are ordinary, law-abiding, tax-payers working in a range of businesses/services from hairdressers to plumbers, architects to musicians. Many of us were forced into...
@Andrew_Adonis Can @Andrew_Adonis confirm what constitutes 'mostly' i.e. what percentage of the 2 million limited company directors he is calling 'tax dodgers', these people operate within the law of the land and employ circa 16 million people.
It is a disgusting slur and you should apologise.
@Andrew_Adonis The ‘benefit’ to anyone lucky enough to to be making £30k per year is £9.17 a week. In return you get no sick pay, no holiday pay etc etc.
@Andrew_Adonis You are wrong on this Andrew. See @The_IoD Policy Unit explanations of small company directors taking base salary and using dividends to allow for ups and downs of trade.
@Andrew_Adonis The first two times I was accused of tax dodging on twitter were by ignorant fools. Now it's by someone who should know better. I run a ltd company because I have to: my clients demand it. I take some of my pay in dividends because my accountant recommends it.
Limited Company Directors across the UK are working hard this morning to furlough employees. Without fair and equal support for those directors, many of their employees won't have a job to come back to.

Yep. Looks like it, right? Particularly when government contractors, including ltd PSCs are able to claim for up to £2500 monthly, apparently not by furloughing.
@HKRichards @RishiSunak Right now it doesn’t feel like bad luck, it feels like @RishiSunak and @hmtreasury simply don’t care about certain sections of society
For the 14th day in a row, the unanswered question (because nobody is asking) is ...
Who actually is in charge of the UK's Pandemic Response right now ?
Or is everybody avoiding having this chaos associated permanently with their name ?
It's becoming clear that the countries with the lowest death & infection rates adopted one of two approaches. They either introduced a swift & strict lockdown (eg Greece) or they launched a massive test & trace operation (eg South Korea).
Boris Johnson went for neither option.
