    The BBC changed its practices in 2012 after it was criticised by the influential public accounts committee for allowing around 1,500 presenters, including stars such as Fiona Bruce and Jeremy Paxman, to be paid through service companies.
    John Birt created more than a little controversy...

    Birt's promotion to Director-General in 1992 caused controversy when it was revealed he was employed on a freelance consultancy basis. Under political and public pressure, Birt became a BBC employee. He had to sell his shares in LWT, losing out on a windfall of what would have been several million pounds when it was bought by Granada in 1994. The Sunday Times later revealed that Birt had been a member of the Labour Party at the time of his appointment, a concern to Conservatives who had already expressed concerns about alleged left-wing bias at the organisation.[6]

    Fiona Bruce Question Time IR35

    https://www.contractoruk.com/news/00...tion_time.html

    Just caught up on watching Question Time

    “IR35 is quite a kind of, dare I say, niche, specific thing.”

    Then, appearing to challenge the premise of the part of the question which she did let the audience member formulate, Bruce added:

    “There are people who are not earning lots of money -- like, you know, lower-paid IT specialists who do want the IR35 thing to be repealed.”



    That put you/us/everyone in your place

    Fiona Bruce seemed very familiar with IR35 and was eager to move the conversation on before anyone could ask if it was relevant to highly paid TV presenters.
