    Venturing into contracting*Advice appreciated*

    It is FACT, not speculation that IR35 is coming into the Private Sector. Public Sector is failing in implementing projects (I read somewhere that it is an 80% failure rate) due to contractors walking away after IR35. Public Sector would rather fail contracts projects then be liable.

    Brexit rebellion building in Parliament

    I don't think we will leave, I think there will be another referendum and remain will win. My reason are the following - 1, The Leave victory wasn't a landslide victory. You cannot have over 16 million unhappy voters. 2, Scotland & Northern Ireland do not want to go, and we cannot force...
