IR35 and overseas workers development

[NotAllThere]

Here we go round the Mulberry Bush again. Companies tried this and generally speaking it didn't work out.

As for getting Visas, the current Conservative government are more pro-nationalism than pro-business. Long term they aren't the certainty they once were.

I think you'll find the current government are pro-filling their pockets and rewarding their donors.

Can we fight offshoring somehow?

The quality of work that often comes from off shoring is so poor, that no fighting is required.
The last example I was told about is a mobile operator paying around £50 million for a mobile app + back end. The app sucked and the whole thing could have done by a couple of experience developers in a lot less time for a fraction of the cost.
