If you look at the actual numbers, the British economy is actually in fairly good shape compared to, let's say, Germany and France. Truss's "crashing" has been more than corrected.

Good job you are retired as the State of the Market thread isn't good reading...

No and as far as we are concerned that is directly down to the off payroll rules as presently defined distorting the market for freelance workers. It remains to be seen if the latest amendment to taxation make a difference.

Our economy isn't good, but it is better than an awful lot of others.

Again your are commenting without reading - the issue at the moment isn’t inside / outside contracts it’s a complete lack of contracts

Yes, because the only people who should have rights are the wealthy. The right to call yourself a non-dom for tax purposes, the right to make sure anyone who actually works for a living needs multiple jobs to be able to afford to rent or buy a house. Lower classes should not have any rights at all, because they are all lazy, unlike tax-dodging millionaires who dream of a Victorian age when the poor had no access to health, no access to clean water, and no opportunity to be rewarded for their hard work.

You should be careful spouting stuff like that. You could accidentally become the next Prime Minister, or at least Deputy to Prime Minister Rees-Mogg.

Because according to some commentators, because OPW is driving companies to move to FTCs rather than risk using contractors.

As you say I'm out if the game, so perhaps take a wider perspective...

What FTCs?

You clearly haven't read the thread as there is a problem with roles whether permanent, contract or temporary at the moment thanks to Liz Truss's clusterf**k.

Incidentally an interview with her is going to be on at 7pm on LBC.

I said "some commentators", aka full time contractors several of whom I know personally - on LinkedIn among others. I'm not that interested myself in anything other than a general way, an as eek says have little real visibility of the problem.

Truss you may remember, was going to cancel IR35 in its entirety. She's about the only politician who has an understanding of how damaging it is. Her f*** up on the economy was because she refused to take any notice of HMRC orthodoxy as much as anything. Ha the markets not panicked, perhaps rightly, her plan may even have worked.

Chapter 10 is the root cause here, not the economy.

I want what Truss is drinking plus her money.

[WTFH]

[malvolio]

Yet again, missing the whole point. It's not about her background, or anyone else's.

Were Rayner commenting on anyone else facing the same as yet unproven accusations, she would again be screaming that they resign.
