If anything, PC's a rarity who potentially should know better but is at least trying to put himself outside IR35 proactively, as opposed to the thousands of bum-on-seaters who blindly throw out an email to their agent to get an outside IR35 contract no matter how deep inside it their working practices take them.
That aside, the BBC article is both annoying and heartening at the same time. While it liberally swaps between tax evasion and tax avoidance (not paying at all versus paying as little as legally possible), there appears to be a clear message that the lowest paid should be employees rather than gig workers. Hopefully there's an intent to use the correct sledgehammer to crack the nut this time.
