@keithmgordon @sushi_ginger1 @Nervous_72 @loanchargeAPPG @MPIainDS @S_Hammond Jesse Norman has written to all MPs with a letter that seems to pre-judge the review by virtue of the opening paragraphs, but which he then refers to as 'independent' 🤔 Again we see this distinctive use of the word "directly" in reference to who this review will focus upon.

This one impact statement is a devastating expose of both the reality & the injustice of the #LoanCharge , how & why people got into such schemes & the impact on health & family. This is a constituent of the former Chancellor who introduced the policy. #STOPtheLoanCharge

One question that should be asked at @hmtreasury Qs next week is why a senior @HMRCgovuk Officer wrote a misleading letter to @CityAM on the #LoanCharge repeating discredited misinformation during an independent review? Yet more unacceptable conduct, which must be investigated.

Now at least 100 MPs have written individually to @sajidjavid & @BorisJohnson calling for a suspension of the #LoanCharge & the independent review the Prime Minister agreed is necessary. That’s on top of 214 Parliamentarians on the open letter. Time to #STOPtheLoanCharge

The Minister @Jesse_Norman needs to apologise to the families of those who’ve killed themselves facing the #LoanCharge , for trying to deny four confirmed #LoanChargeSuicides . We gave evidence of 6 to Sir Amyas Morse on Friday. Friday night a 7th person tragically killed himself.

We've been sent a case of someone facing the #LoanCharge who agreed @HMRCgovuk settlement figures only for HMRC to reject their own settlement offer! The #LoanChargeScandal exposes serious deep-seated institutional issues within #HMRC , which MUST be part of the #LoanChargeReview .

❗️We’re hearing many reports about an increasingly panicky @HMRCgovuk putting even more pressure on people to sign wholly unaffordable & draconian #LoanCharge settlements, due to their woeful failure so far & PM’s promise to have an independent review. Pls email us any such cases

Today is #WorldSuicidePreventionDay . In the UK a Government policy, the #LoanCharge , has led to suicides, 6 have been reported directly to us. @HMRCgovuk & @hmtreasury were warned last year of the risk but ignored this. Last week families held a vigil at HMRC. #LoanChargeSuicides

Another dreadful performance from @hmtreasury Minister @Jesse_Norman . Not only is he refusing to suspend the #LoanCharge & showing no compassion but continues to mislead the @HouseofCommons or doesn’t understand his own policy. It has NEVER been shown that tax was due.

Some confusion in the debate (presumably caused by the misleading briefing). NC31 does not & cannot set any precedent as all it does is RESTORE basic taxpayers’ rights & puts the situation BACK where it was. It’s the #LoanCharge that set a precedent & a dangerous one!

EXPOSED BY FOI “You owe us beers” the Chancellor’s own press secretary tells the supposedly ‘independent’ #LoanCharge review Secretariat. The Secretariat (actually a senior Treasury official) replies “Happy to line up the beers”. #LoanChargeScandal

Delighted that @DavidDavisMP @RuthCadbury Julian Lewis with the support of many #LoanChargeAPPG members have been granted a debate on a substantive motion on the #LoanCharge on Thurs 19th March. The #MorseReview is a flawed compromise that doesn’t resolve the #LoanChargeScandal

"All this just reminds people how incompetent @HMRCgovuk had been since 1999” @keithmgordon said. "HMRC are just proceeding on the basis 'it’s not our fault, we’ll blame someone else'.” From a barrister, on the shameful way #HMRC have covered up their failure #LoanChargeScandal

When the #LoanChargeReview is announced it: 🔺Must be genuinely independent of @hmtreasury & @HMRCgovuk . 🔺Must take evidence including from those facing the #LoanCharge . 🔺All settlement activity, enforcement & penalties must be suspended. #STOPtheLoanCharge #LoanChargeScandal

One extraordinary thing about the #LoanChargeScandal is the fact that the out-of-control @HMRCgovuk , instead of offering remotely reasonable terms, are demanding more per month than people’s income! It would make a #loanshark blush (and would from a lender be illegal).
