Back in 2016, I wrote about how Uber was running up an unpaid national insurance contributions bill of £13m a month... waitingfortax.com/2016/11/03/the…
...shortly after writing that post I met privately with a very senior HMRC officer who indicated it was not interested in pursuing the point...
In August, Uber's US accounts revealed it was (at last) in dispute with HMRC about its NICs bill.
We are, of course, delighted that HMRC is at last doing its job. But why should it be left to @GoodLawProject, funded by a few hundred individuals paying a few quid a month, to ensure HMRC collects taxes from the great and the good?

The fact our politics is in disarray makes it even more important that we zealously guard the few remaining spaces where people can be heard. theguardian.com/environment/20…
We believe the section 14 Order is invalid - that it amounts to a huge overreach of the statutory power - and likely reflects the enormous political pressure the Met is under.
It exposes the Met to all sorts of risks - of legal challenges to validity, of civil claims for wrongful arrest with aggravated damages and so on - merely because this Government cannot tolerate peaceful protest.

If the House of Commons were to approve a withdrawal agreement on 19 October, and there was no extension, we would have No Deal on 31 October. Here's why. THREAD.
Approving a withdrawal agreement in the Commons by 19 October is not sufficient to enable that withdrawal agreement to be ratified in Parliament or the EU. But it does mean that the PM has no obligation to apply for an extension. waitingfortax.com/2019/09/15/the…
To ratify the withdrawal agreement a number of further steps have to be taken on the UK side. If they are not taken the agreement can't be ratified.

These steps are set out in section 13 of the EU (Withdrawal) Act 2018.

1/ (won't bother numbering the test)

I've been reading about what's happened to the NHS in the 15 years I've been in Japan so I thought I'd do a quick after-work thread of my thoughts.

It's pretty shocking how the essence and ideals of the NHS have been undermined.
For my American followers (just in case you don't know), the UK's National Health service is about 99% funded by general taxation and National Insurance contributions. This all comes out of our wages.

The NHS is then free *at the point of use*.
That means that if you need a consultation, scan or operation you don't have to pay. That's true even if you are unemployed, and that's perhaps the fact that most neatly encapsulates the spirit of the service. You don't need to rely on your employer. The state looks after you.

Some thoughts about the NHS. A thread.

Faced with the imminent installation of either Johnson or Hunt as Tory leader & Prime Minister it is worth thinking about the fact that the more brexity Tory party members are more than prepared to see the sale & destruction of the NHS

/1
They have said they are prepared to flush the NHS down the sewer as long as they get their brexit. Their brexit that in 3 years has gone from "no downside" and "sunlit uplands" through "there will be adequate food" right down to "there will be drinking water available".

/2
Wow. That's some regression.

But let's talk about the NHS.

We know (because he wrote a book about it) that Hunt wants to privatise the NHS. We know (because he finally admitted he deliberately lied) that Johnson will NOT be giving £350 million a week to fund the NHS.

President Trump is reportedly eager to remove Deep State Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats and replace him with former CIA officer and NSC official Fred Fleitz, an anti-Deep State think tank. thegatewaypundit.com/2019/07/trump-…
aha... Britain's former ambassador to the US vouched for the credibility of Christopher Steele..Sir Kim Darroch, who quit his post after leaked diplomatic cables backed the former MI6 spy when asked by a US official.

bahahah PANIC! Looking shocked that his (Christopher Steele's) cover was blown, he ran towards a car driven by his wife that just two minutes earlier had dropped him off at the station for his commute to his London office.

Is the 'handler' [one of many] connected to Epstein?

1) New day #QDrop... #Qanon post No. 2745... @realDonaldTrump @WhiteHouse @POTUS
#Q links to #FoxNews & says "Buckle up!". It's looking good for a D5 info drop on the others that met secretly to plot against #POTUS with the use of a 25th Amendment scam.

2) Stepping back 4 an interesting footnote re: #QAnon post No. 2744...
When the verse numbers are totaled, they equal 55:17. If you've been watching #QDrops or any time you know the significance of 5 x5 & the number 17😉
3) #QAnon post No. 2746...
#LisaPage was removed from the #SC on 15th July 2017. July 21, 2017, The #Mooch was appointed #WHCommunicationsDirector. He began work on 25th July 2017 & was fired on the 31st. It's clear [5:5] that #Scaramucchi was a hired (& disposable) gun. Most all
