    Good thinking, cause what we really need is an unopposed Tory government led by Osborne. That'll get the country back on it's feet and support the powerhouse small businesses that keep the UK afloat.

      If contractors were proper businesses then you might have a point - but they are no such thing
      Let us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyone

        Who's arguing ? I'm not a contractor. Dividend tax is exclusive to contractors then, is it ?

          And it will be fun seeing friends of Corbyn meet one another, Hamas meeting Stonewall would be amusing
          Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

          No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

            Its hardly a tax loophole to be able to offset legitimate expenses against tax. When I worked in London my monthly expenses easily ran to £2k a month. Hotels and travel are not cheap. Without being able to offset that against tax, there is no point looking for work that isn't an easy day commute. It hardly bodes well for a flexible workforce.
            Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

            I preferred version 1!

              The government doesn't care, bodyshops give them nice cushy directorships, and there is an endless supply of indentured slaves to come over here

              We are expendible, get used to it or develop your plan B

                Forget X factor, big brother, I'm a celeb - PMQ's are going to be the only reality worth watching soon.

                He's not even in yet and he's already having an impact;

                David Cameron has indicated he will abandon plans to extend military airstrikes against Islamic State (Isis) targets from Iraq to Syria if Jeremy Corbyn is elected leader of the Labour party.

                In a sign of how the leftwinger could have an impact on Britain’s foreign policy, even as opposition leader, the prime minister said that he would only hold a parliamentary vote on the strikes if there is “genuine consensus”.

                Speaking in Madrid, the prime minister said: “I would only proceed going further on this issue if there is genuine consensus in the United Kingdom about it before going back to parliament.” The frontrunner for the Labour leadership is opposed to the current airstrikes against Isis targets in Iraq and to extending them to Syria.

                  He is likely to be the most popular Labour leader and Prime minister of Britain ever ! I cant wait for 2020 elections to come by, in fact I hope he masterminds a coup and we have elections next year!
                  Vote Corbyn ! Save this country !

                    I was reading about the new discoveries at Stonehenge and it occurred to me that Corbyn may have plans to blow this up if he gets in. Anyone have the inside info on Jezzers Stonhenge policy ?
