Remember the tories have not won a majority at a general election for over 20 years.
Come on Ed, make Britain an great place again
It's related to clear™ - as in "IR35 is perfectly clear™ in its application. If you are liable to pay it, you have to pay it" (Dawn Primarolo when questioned in the House, about the lack of clarity on the applicability of IR35).Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

In terms of what the Tories are offering, you'll forgive me if I base my analysis on the history of this gov't, rather than manifesto promises, but they have been, and will continue to be, utterly useless in supporting that segment of IPSE with which I identify - professional contractors, not the self-employed (and if you're seriously suggesting that was down to the Lib Dems, you're truly deluded).
Labour and the Tories will purse a near-identical agenda in the coming years of supporting only those small businesses that are viewed as politically benign, i.e. "proper businesses" that are run by "hard working people". No amount of conflation with the self-employed will help professional contractors, because we aren't politically benign, quite the opposite. In that sense, I'm rather fatalist about the next five years, but I'd merely suggest that it would behoove IPSE to ready themselves for serious scrutiny; I'm sure they haveComment

Originally posted by jamesbrown View PostThe number of paid-up members is irrelevant? If recent history is a guide, I tend to agree. They're a lobbying organisation that takes their mandate from the paid-up membership; they don't even have an open website/forum FFS As it stands, they are a re-branded group of professional contractors that are attempting to appeal to the broader self-employed market.

In two years time, you'll be running an 'FLC' with marginally better tax advantages than IR35 itself.When freedom comes along, don't PISH in the water supply.....Comment
