It's true though. Are you working inside?

I work both. Still very silly statement.

There are niche skills that no doubt offer more or less constant opportunities for the right contractor but the thing is about niches is they tend to be quite small so it is very much the exception.

Yes . inside is safe and contributes to NI

Tried trolling, failed, look like a dick.

look like????

Yeah, you're right, I quoted the wrong person.

It won't get repealed in any guise. It will get tinkered with and made worse, and most likely more of an administrative nightmare.

There is absolutely no intention to tidy up tax laws as the complexity keeps lots of people well fed and watered. Any government that had the balls to clean it all up would have to deal with the wrath of HMRC because that's the tail which is wagging the treasury dog (as observed above where opinions magically change overnight once MPs become Treasurer).

I never said I struggle to convert interest to contracts - you did.

You said it, you get lots of inbound interest but struggle to convert interest to a contract. Maybe your inbox is all spam, sharpen your message and the messages will become more relevant.

I don't even bother reading InMails that start with phrases such as 'You look impressive' or 'Strictly private and confidential' - they are just spam. Let me guess - the profiles associated with these roles are from attractive young women who work at agencies no one has ever heard of?

Here you are using them as evidence in a one man pissing contest. It's like trying to impress people with credit card pre-approval letters.

If your inbox is like mine, your outbound game is clearly working, sounds like you're struggling to convert though.

Also, please note that the fourth message down is literally confirmation of starting a new contract on the second week July. I can attract AND convert.

Please note no one gives a feck what you are saying, how many messages you get and where your kids go to school. I'd suggest investing some time in therapy instead of sitting on this forum constantly posting "look how great I am" content.

I love this constant arrogance you exude - what on Earth makes you think I'm struggling, or have ever struggled, for work?

She said 5 - 6 months over 5 years. just over 4 weeks of holiday per year is actually quite small for myslef and the other contractors I
know. I spend more time than that skiing every year and always come back to a contract, I've never known it any other way.

It's not difficult to pick up a new contract, post-ski season, when your inbox is poppin' like this on the daily.

Wait, we're using recruiters messaging you on LinkedIn as a benchmark now? By that standard I should be on £20k a day such is my marketability.

In all fairness, DrewG is the biggest dick.
