Normally, there's a "dual mandate", where a mayor can also be an MP. However, Greater Manchester is an exception (along with...

I read an interesting article about this, which gives some recap/context:
It’s getting weirder: BuzzFeed News’ former royals reporter on Kate Middleton, Palace PR, and distrust in the media (updated) | Nieman Journalism Lab (niemanlab.org)
Regardless of whether you believe the conspiracy...

To be fair, that's a valid question - based on a quick Google search, I can't find anything which mentions that being a crime in UK law.
Looking at the Guardian:
Andrew Tate and brother Tristan arrested in Romania on UK warrant | UK news | The Guardian
I.e. that's...

I had a message from a recruiter on LinkedIn (since I've listed my client as my employer):
First up, that echoes the previous post, i.e. saying that this is a bad time to be a recruiter. Secondly, the bit about their experience makes it look like a covering letter for a job...

There's a bit more to it than that:
How Birmingham city council’s ‘equal pay’ bankruptcy provided cover for ongoing Oracle IT disaster (theconversation.com)
It's worth reading the whole article, but here's a snippet:...

a) I don't believe you.
b) "-stan" is normally used for the name of a country (e.g. Afghanistan). "-abad" is normally used for the name of a city (e.g. Hyderabad).
Coming back on topic, it's not as if white people are banned from ever seeing this play. It's just...

Those can be useful, but this scenario is probably the worst case for them.
Suppose I wanted to get your fingerprint: that would be very difficult, because (as far as I know) we've never met.
However, suppose that you have a husband trying to break into his wife's laptop, when...

That's actually an interesting question. I've thought about having some promotional items (branded merchandise), e.g. biros with my company name on them. I wouldn't be selling them (i.e. no direct revenue) but the goal would be to bring in extra business, so I believe that would be allowable as a business...

I'm guessing that's a typo: did you mean "your last contract before retirement"? (That will affect the advice that other people have offered, i.e. if there might not be a "next gig".)
As a general point, though, I suggest talking to your client. If you're the only person...

The Guardian article doesn't mention speakerphones, nor does the SEC press release:
SEC.gov | SEC Charges Husband of Energy Company Manager with Insider Trading
So, it's possible that the husband just got the gist of the conversation by listening to her half of it.
I agree with...

You've said that twice, but I'm not sure what you expect the employer to do. Nobody was tapping the phone line, and encrypting the VoIP data wouldn't have made a difference, because someone was standing outside and listening through the door. Are you suggesting that the employer should have built some...

In fairness, that would be a bit premature if the company doesn't exist yet (and won't exist for another 6 months)....

Following up on what jamesbrown said, your personal tax year runs from Apr-Apr, while the company's tax year will run from Sep-Aug. That means that you'll still need to do a SATR as normal after Apr 2025, which includes any sole trader income and any income you get from the limited company (salary/dividends)....

I'm guessing this is related to your previous post (from 2022):
Consulting newbie in the UK - Contractor UK Bulletin Board
I.e. the old invoices are/were paid into your personal bank account because you're a sole trader?
Also, just to clarify, are you planning to start using...
