Discussion with my MP

That they drafted clauses for a revised IR35 before December 9 without any consultation? I think that's self-explanatory. It's not totally implausible if they're going to do something "simple" without consultation, but it's highly unlikely. We can only wait. I'd be stunned, as someone that follows the legislative process quite carefully. YMMV.

I hope you are right.

It is my opinion that HMRC run the government. HMRC already know what clauses they want. A bit like retrospection in 2008.

Its interesting that Labour refused to engage with IPSE before the election. So contractor Tory vote seemed the only choice left. But we have been stiffed.

But, I hope you are right.

Well, 9 December for the draft clauses in Finance Bill 2016. Frankly, I'd be surprised (and a little worried ) to see any clauses w/r to a revised IR35 in FB 2016, let alone that draft (T&S may be though).

Sorry - yep not IR35 but T&S

As I've already stated we are turkeys waiting on Christmas!

Just to a note for those turkeys counting on ER in the near future. My American clients have the day after Georgie's statement off. It's Thanksgiving.
