    This problem has always existed but snowballed during the Blair/Brown years as trade unions decided they loved the Labour party and sacks of money more than their members. The fact that total taxation has been going up year after year as government liabilities swell hasn't helped either.

    Sooner or later we will reach an en-pass where the cost of government will crush what is left of the private sector.

    It has got nothing to do with IR35.

    It has got to do with nobody, especially the civil service wanting to employ people. And the resulting dodgy agency/umbrella scenarios that have been around in numerous forms over the last 15-20 years or so.

    If companies employed people, a lot of this would go away.

    And as has been said on this thread, in this case it is affecting people on or potentially below minimum wage.
