But it does seem that if you are convincingly operating as providing a Professional Service with no 'employment intermediaries' that substantially provide labour between you and the client ('engager') then you would be outside the scope and able to continue claiming home-to-work travel....?

Professional Service Firms vs Labour Services
Apologies if this has been asked & discussed many times - in which case my search-fu is lacking.
I've re-read through the T&S proposal document (having only skimmed it last month) and in particular the part that lets the big consultancies off the hook -- i.e. the presence of Employment Intermediary which is an entity that "supplies labour" as opposed to Big Consultancy Ltd which "supplies professional services" rather than labour.
So where's the distinction between supplying a professional service vs labour? In the IT sector an engager wants to be supplied with someone with particular professional skill - be it a particular type of developer or an analyst or project manager. And I'm sure its similar is many other sectors. This sounds like professional service, not just 'labour'.
