ITV's docudrama made plain the depth of the misery visited on the victims of the Horizon scandal. It is time we put right this appalling miscarriage of justice.

In light of the #loanchargescandal this UT decision is interesting, as it deals with the statutory safeguards in the tax system, that prevent HMRC going back many years, unles there is carelessness, deliberateness, fraud, etc. This isn't an area I particularly focus on (I do

Post Office Horizon system being replaced, with tenders invited for £75m project. Difficult to see how this could be done without bringing in IT contractors.. but wait, all the best ones for now working for overseas companies remotely, because of #ir35 . Double the £75m, and bin

The #loancharge does appear to be collapsing with the pressure by 200+ MPs. If/when it collapses there will be fallout for some ministers and civil servants. Do they want a controlled demolition via a judge led review or uncontrolled via a judge led judicial review?

@carolvorders Not sure Lucy Frazer is a “big shot” - she did some PR work for the Treasury under her brief stint as FST and demonstrated her complete lack of knowledge on tax matters. She did show she could read out what she was told - perhaps that why she got another ministerial role.

Which massive recruitment agency pushed loan schemes, which was also linked to a Tory Minister? The #LoanChargeScandal is going to get much bigger soon.

#loanchargescandal - the Loan Charge was pushed through by MP Mel Stride with very little scrutiny. HMRC hoodwinked him, and now it’s all about protecting reputations for what they did. Classic abuse of power.

Tens of thousands of people are facing crippling tax demands from HMRC for tax their employers failed to pay. At least 23 victims have taken - or attempted to take - their own lives. @gurpreetnarwan has the latest. 📺 Sky 501, Virgin 602, and YouTube

What’s going on with HMRC press office the last two days? Looks like they are going around trying to put out fires with a can of petrol. #loanchargescandal

Ah, the year when the Conservatives voted for retrospective taxation #loancharge and for the business killing #offpayrolltax , so they could hand our money to their mates for PPE contracts that didn’t deliver.
