No idea what to do...

Why wouldn't they be?

If push comes to shove, they may engage you directly as a supplier if you're deemed essential. T&M basis, paid on the supplier cycle (i.e. longer wait for your money) but completely outside as a true B2B deal. I agree with the others about the back tax issue, but you can offset that with six years of unpaid holidays, four years of sickness pay, redundancy, unfair dismissal, etc.

But that’s not the answer he wants

Let’s all just agree it’s ok and op will be happy

OK cheers

The concept of going through an umbrella always seemed quite a bit different to me going from a company and contractor to employee but I guess it's not after all then.
