They don't answer the phone now, I can't see how their service could deteriorate anymore unless they sent a drone strike to anyone who had the temerity to call them

Just waiting for DC to write to them and ask why the amount of investigations has gone down.

Once we're forced onto the payroll I'm guessing there won't be any more need for IR35 inwestigations.

Or do we think they'll still be doing retrospective investigations?
