Yup, cold, boiled rice would work better than cold, raw rice, but sometimes we have to live a little.

Chop up loads of garlic and start frying it in a wok then add a load of cold pre-cooked rice, fry until claggy then put into a bowl. Fry an egg or two and deposit on top of bowl of claggy rice, add a splash of soy sauce - Filipino breakfast.

Doubtful. I'd find it amusing if they did.

That's four out of ten near enough, they dislike him more than May. I hope they resign their seats, I couldn't work for a firm where almost half the workforce thinks their boss is incompetent.

I reckon Jeremy Hunt has been lining himself up for a while, I have my suspicions that Gove would be preferred by Murdoch et al., but nobody's going to vote for someone who looks like that and is blatantly off their face on coke.

Incompetency.

It's not bullshit criteria though, they've just closed the loopholes that allowed big companies to use subbies in the roles of employees. There must be money in it for them or they wouldn't have done it.

Aye, but there were many agencies who used to act as agents for ltd companies, who also exploited the IR35 game. If your business stops working for you then you have to work on a new one. As for your 'Look at how bad the SNP are doing with tax' post, why not post something positive about how good the tories are doing instead? Too much negativity in the world.

I'm glad you swerved the problems that Ltd companies can present. I was more than happy to make use of the IR35 loophole while it existed. There's a real chance that the blanket ban on Ltd companies in your sector is due to the fact that the big players knew they were also playing the IR35 game and HMRC has taken their ball away. HMRC are the only people who are set to benefit from the changes. Good on the SNP, running a deficit is probably the best way to extract money from Westminster.

Let’s rejoin EU single market to ease cost of living crisis, says Tobias Ellwood WWW.TELEGRAPH.CO.UK Tory MP, and Boris Johnson critic, suggests ‘radical thinking’ to fight rising inflation, including ‘daring to assess how Brexit is...

If your limited company can't survive post IR35 then you weren't really running a viable business in the first place; you were just a subby/'employee' who used to direct a limited company for its benefits within current tax law. I and companies I work with definitely benefitted from the breaks offered by IR35, luckily I don't keep all my eggs in one basket.

Government Expenditure and Revenue Scotland 2020-21 WWW.GOV.SCOT Government Expenditure and Revenue Scotland (GERS) is a National Statistics publication. It estimates the revenue... Here's one for you mate, the full facts and not just a Murdoch soundbite. I'm not disputing that some of your friends have stopped working as the tax imposed makes it seem to be a bad proposition. Personally I'd pay a decent accountant some money and crack on, but each to their very own.

Maybe so but I think it's slightly different and should be viewed as such. We have a PM who has been caught lying to the police and has seemingly got away with it. That's a poor precedent. When the cops say that they're taking 'No further action' (NFA) that doesn't in any way mean the suspect is absolved, it means that they either don't have enough evidence to pursue the charge or that it's 'not in the public interest' to pursue the charge. I'm not sure who decides the latter. If nobody pulls them on this then they can and will do whatever they want with even more impunity.

Convenient timing too given the absolute horrorshow for them being exposed for having parties, and utterly taking the piss out of us, when we were only allowed 30 people at close friends' funerals.

Maybe the sharp dropoff in late 2021 is due to covid lockdowns. It's crackers to think that gun nuts would obey lockdown rules.

I dunno, I think that given it was written over a year ago before her/her son payed 12m to a lass he's apparently never met to settle a rape case speaks volumes about how detached from reality some people are.

1) Perched on a bench. 2) Flounder.

They seem to favour the pestilence/war/famine model; it might well turn ugly, it's too early to tell just yet.

Let's add to that the crime bill that Patel seems hell bent on getting through again to those things, there are serious ramifications in the pipeline when/ if it gets passed. Odds are we'll be too cold and hungry by then to protest much by then anyhow.
