It’s not a surprise is it? The whole thing with the private schools was a canary in the coal mine. It showed that they are only motivated by spite and envy. If someone has something that’s not available to someone else then that’s unfairness and it should be taken from them and given to people “less fortunate”. You want to save for the future? No all your moneys are belong to us!
I work as a contractor. Ideally I should work through a limited company and that way I can manage cash flow through down time (as I have now). Working inside IR35 means I cannot build up a pot of cash between gigs. But previously I could at least top up my pension on a high rate contract. I can’t even do that now. Labour (and Tories for that matter) are ruining any incentive to work. Fuck them all.
I’m the same Paul. Can’t bootstrap due to IR35. Can’t put away money to work on projects. Just maintaining my company for IP and waiting for a change of government.
Both Tories and Labour pissed away any chance of organic growth with the insidious “disguised employee” nonsense.
Funny that a side effect of the Employment Rights Bill will probably be a lot more contractors appearing. All within IR35 and having no rights. And now restricted pensions.
Thanks for your customary lucidity. Most fiscal explanation assumes too much knowledge. We all knew it was going to be an Apparatnik Budget, but not the why and the how of it.

I expect ever greater penalties on companies found employing “disguised employees”.

And how much for Ukraine in the current budget?
I recall Starmer sending them multiple billions of pounds.
