    The tories didn't want Brexit, it was the majority of the UK populace that did and the tories latched on to the possibility of leaving the EU as a means of winning the GE at the time.

    And yes, they lied.

    Hth.

    As with anything Brexit related, its a bit more nuanced than that; mostly the guys on the tools were likely to vote leave with generally the managerial side voting remain. From what I saw anyway.

    Yes, that's right. You cannot be a member of the NFU if you don't have a permanent residence in Edinburgh.

    This is how all national and international conferences work, they are only open to people who live in the host city.

    started a topic Seems HMRC can make a U-turn..

    Seems HMRC can make a U-turn..

    https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/362347/government-major-u-turn-pick-truck-tax-changes

    New rules that would have seen company car benefit-in-kind tax charges applied to double-cab pick-ups have been scrapped by HMRC a week after them being announced.

    The shambolic U-turn follows HMRC’s decision to update guidance on double-cab pick-up trucks following a Court of Appeal judgement in 2020. Just last week, the Treasury announced that from 1 July this year double-cab pick-ups would no longer be taxed as goods vehicles, but would instead be classed as cars for the purposes of calculating capital allowances and benefit-in-kind (BiK) liabilities for drivers. The measure was supposed to close a perceived ‘loophole’, as the current good vehicle classification allows employees and company directors to benefit from private mileage in company-owned pick-up trucks while avoiding thousands of pounds of company car benefit-in-kind’ tax.
