1. A thread 🧵
As a #LoanCharge victim I am confused about the claims being made in respect of promoters of schemes caught by Loan Charge. @keithmgordon I believe you did a thread on this so help me out if you can. OK here we go, please read to the end & retweet for max exposure. Image 2. In 2019 @Jesse_Norman, the FST at the time, when asked why HMRC were not going after Promoters said “unless they’ve done something that is actually illegal it is very hard". Based on this you wouldn't expect promoters to face court or prison #LoanCharge

1. Let's talk about hypocrisy in government, let's concentrate on those privileged individuals who have recently held the position of Chancellor of the Exchequer. Those holier than though millionaire ministers who like to tell us to pay "our fair share". A thread🧵
#LoanCharge 2. Let's start with a previous Chancellor @PhilipHammondUK who seemed to think the tax rate for him while Chancellor was 0.4%. How does that stack up against what struggling families were paying? #LoanCharge

1. @andrealeadsom on 03/11 you said this in @HouseofCommons regarding MPs 'We spend so much of our lives trying to deliver justice to our constituents & fighting against unfairness wherever we see it.'  I challenge that statement in respect of your actions for #LoanChargeScandal 2. I first wrote to you @andrealeadsom in Sept 2017 regarding #LoanChargeScandal & first met you regarding this unjust legislation in Oct 2017. You were unaware of the 20yr retrospective nature of the legislation until I told you. You agreed retrospective law changes were wrong.

1. OPEN LETTER TO THE LOAN CHARGE APPG @loanchargeAPPG

I feel compelled to write this open letter to the members of the Loan Charge APPG.

Firstly let me thank your members for all their hard work & support to date for those affected by the #LoanCharge 2. @loanchargeAPPG Please excuse any clumsy language or incorrect assumptions, if they do not apply to you, but I am less eloquent than most MPs.

50k to 100k now have less than a week before the #LoanCharge deadline. This is desparate times, many face ruin.

1. Who'd have thought that amongst all the 1000s of qualified people in Life Sciences in this country that the person chosen to lead the vaccine task force would be the wife of a Tory minister. What are the odds on that happening? @TheCanaryUK herefordtimes.com/news/18457643.… 2. Makes you wonder if they are more interested in giving handouts to their inner circle than finding a vaccine. I am sure that @Jesse_Norman's wife is very competent but it does raise the question as to whether this was to salve the tough ride Norman has faced with #LoanCharge

1. @andrealeadsom is it normal for a body like @HMRCgovuk to get away with lying to @CommonsTreasury ?
See below. ImageImage 2. @andrealeadsom Mary Aiston (MA): ....HMRC is not going to make people sell their homes to pay their disguised remuneration tax bills.
Chair: Is that a confirmed policy?
MA: Yes
Chair: You are putting that on the record here....
MA: Yes

1. @Keir_Starmer 's templated reply sent to loads of people impacted by the #LoanCharge is not only insulting it also shows how ill informed @UKLabour leadership & their front benches are on this matter. I will quote from the letter in this thread.
@Bill_Esterson @patmcfaddenmp 2. 'Labour have not opposed the Government’s changes to the loan charge...'

There were no Gov lchanges to oppose, there were changes proposed by @DavidDavisMP to support. Those changes would restore the access to normal judicial process which #LoanCharge removes.

1. @AnnelieseDodds @Bill_Esterson @Keir_Starmer pls understand #LoanCharge & then really think hard about whether abstaining from voting on #NC31 is the right thing to do.
After 7 suicides I don't believe staying silent is the morally correct thing to do, in fact I know it isn't. 2. @AnnelieseDodds @Bill_Esterson
@Keir_Starmer @UKLabour @labourwhips
Please read this thread before deciding whether you want to stand by while other lives are destroyed by #LoanCharge
Please vote for #NC31

1. #LoanCharge
Why don't we discuss @HMRCgovuk 's own admission that the Loan Schemes that 1000s used were legal. This admission is evidenced by the language they have used, not once is legality mentioned, and by the fact that in 20yrs they have not taken 1 promoter to court. 2. This is a letter I rec'd from @HMRCgovuk in 2014 it states 'The promoters of these arrangements said that the amounts described as loans were not subject to tax as income'. They acknowledge we were given advice but 'if' wrong promoters must have acted fraudulently. #LoanCharge

1. While @BorisJohnson talks about restoring the trust in government maybe we should look at @MelJStride who is a @Conservatives minister to see why the trust in the Tories has all but disappeared. Mel this is your shameful life. #LoanCharge Image 2. When @MelJStride was Fin Sec to @hmtreasury & had oversight of taxation his company, Venture Marketing Group, had clients including Amazon, which have been accused of tax avoidance & HSBC, Lloyds & JP Morgan who all have an interest in tax policy.

1. @HumanRightsCtte @HarrietHarman 10s of 1000s of contractors have had the past few years of their lives stolen by @HMRCgovuk while living under the threat of ruin from the #LoanCharge . Image 2. We have been unable to enjoy the present or plan for any immediate or long term future, in fact the future looks bleak for all of us. Following the fudged #LoanCharge review we are still facing many more years of not being able to get on with our lives.

1. I make no apologies for the length of this thread as 1000s have been living with the strain of #LoanCharge for years & it reflects what we've endured.I urge you to read this,especially if you are in the media.This thread contains links to facts evidencing HMRC & Gov behaviour. 2. Years, decades even, of inaction & inefficiencies by @HMRCgovuk now mean that 100k contractors face ruin with 20yrs of retrospective tax in the #LoanCharge. I found out about this over 10 years after first using a scheme.
