    Given how this government have attacked us contractors, I'm surprised any contractor would vote Tory. They hate us and are gunning for us, yet peeps on here still vote for them? Bonkers. Turkeys voting for Xmas! You get them back in with a majority and you can say goodbye to contracting as we know it.
    Labour hate us. Do they hate us more? I would say they do.

    So I will continue to vote for the govt that hates us the least.

      His was the only one of two London places that voted leave.

      Apart from a few MPs in the SE they voted the same way as their constituents.

        Yes, god only knows why we got rid of New Labour after they blessed us with IR35 to show us how much they loved us.

          The thing is if Labour do anything they are anti-business if Tories do anything it's cos it's fair.

            How many people did IR35 actually become a burden to, before the Tories started messing with it ?

                  Blair /Brown government was less destructive to us than just 2 years of this tory lot. If they get in for 5 more years by the end of it there will be no independent IT contracting. If you're happy with that and you're ok going back perm, or worse FTC then you carry on

                      If the Tories were heading for a Hard Brexit they wouldn't need a new mandate because there would be no agreement that would need to be voted on. The UK would just go crashing out. The reason May needs a mandate is because there is going to be a "sell out".

                      This is why the EU welcomes it.
