Day 1,896 : Eleven #LoanChargeSuicides @CommonsTreasury & @Meg_HillierMP why are you not investigating the #LoanChargeScandal ? @Keir_Starmer @DavidLammy @RachelReevesMP @jamesmurray_ldn @Dan4Barnet #StopTheLoanCharge ⚖️ @RupertLowe10 @RestoreBritain_ 👇🏻

Most people dealing with HMRC on historic tax issues are not trying to be difficult. They are usually trying to work out: - What HMRC think happened - Whether the numbers are right - How serious it really is - And whether they are about to lose control of the situation In my experience, that uncertainty can often be worse than the tax itself.

@griffitha And what did you do when in a ministerial position with @hmtreasury oversight Andrew? Let me remind you; absolutely fuck all. Some of us are old enough to remember you doing fuck all about #LoanCharge. Sit down

People who made a mistake trusting accountants, financial advisers, tax professionals, employment agents & promoters don't have the luxury of admitting & moving on. They stand to lose everything they have worked for, their homes & their reputations. Us/them. #loanchargescandal

@MartinSLewis Even worse is it showing account details of people who don't even have the app?

Do you use the Lloyds, Bank of Scotland or Halifax apps? People have been messsaging me this morning of being shown other peoples transactions. I want to see how widespread this is. Has it happened to you. If so a) What are you seeing? Which app. b) If it is someone elses transactions does it give any of their details too (name, account number etc)?

Devasting to watch the ongoing impact of the #loanchargescandal on my friend Atarah. Utter ruin of a vulnerable individual.

the latest #loancharge review. The more I hear the less inclined I am to participate in this circus. There is simply no incentive to settle as it will never draw a line under the whole mess. #loanchargescandal 2/2

The McCann Review. Ministers said it would help bring the Loan Charge scandal to a close. But for many contractors, the end may still be nowhere in sight. Steve Packham of the Loan Charge Action Group examines why thousands of cases could remain unresolved. 🔗 contractoruk.com/news/why-mccan…

HMRC spent >£180M on “Loan Charge interventions” to collect £44M. A massive waste of taxpayer money whatdotheyknow.com/request/averag…

1/4 Here is another diamond from my files. In July 2007 when my business and many others were failing under an onslaught of VAT free competitors circularly shipping CDs and DVDs via The Channel Islands, I wrote to the Director of HMRCs Anti-Avoidance Group

I haven't posted in a long time re #LoanCharge but I've just seen a copy of letters going out. Asking ppl who've already paid and who have supplied all scheme details etc in 2019 to share all over again like they've never engaged with @HMRCgovuk . Another shambles in the making..

Loan charge taxpayers sent letters with named HMRC - HMRC starts sending more letters to individuals affected by loan charge and eligible for McCann, but Loan Charge Action Group (LCAG) says settlement ‘ignores reality’ contact accountancydaily.co/loan-charge-ta… via @accountancylive

@CliveWardauthor 🤣 One day on the range we did the wet combat test at around 25m and yes we found all the rounds lying on ground below the jacket 👍

Also known as the Sterling Machine Gun (British) tested in 1944-45, replaced the Sten in 1953 until production was stopped in 1983. A brilliant piece of precision engineering and a great bit if kit. Never ever had a stoppage with this highly accurate long-range sniper weapon, awesome tank killer and artillery piece. The greatest and best-looking weapon I’ve ever fired. Ok, that is enough about the SMG or Imperial Storm trooper blaster standard issue. Couldn’t hit a barn door from twenty-five yards and would not penetrate wet combats, army issue blankets and compo cheese possessed. If you pulled the trigger everything seemed to be in slow motion, and it felt like the 9mm rounds were falling out of the end of the barrel. On a sunny day, you could actually see the rounds going down range, not exactly high velocity. Good points? Well, none really. It could do a lot of damage if you threw it at someone, I suppose. Ejection port made a good bottle opener, and it was great for making the holes in the doughnuts in the Sergeants' Mess. Standard issue in every kitchen! I seem to remember I had a white one, but l left it on the Death Star, when l was discharged from the army, in a galaxy far, far away. More BS inside.

Michelle Mone has been on an official leave of absence from the House of Lords since late 2022. To remove her peerage requires an Act of Parliament. Mone and her husband Doug Barrowman owe taxpayers £148 Mn. They are a disgrace. Her peerage should be removed ASAP. #BBCBreakfast

Show your support for Janet Skinner. Now left with no option but to sue the Post Office for redress on her wrongful conviction. Janet was given a 9 month custodial sentence and had to sell her home. Yet Paula Vennells walked away with £millions #BBCBreakfast #PostOfficeScandal
