Paula Vennells claimed she was a victim today at the Post Office Inquiry. She received £3m in bonuses alone and a CBE. She was never falsely accused of a crime, like she accused thousand of sub-postmasters. She never went to prison.

MP @MelJStride describes Kenneth Clarke as a 'decent and nice man' but acknowledges that 'there are questions that need to be addressed' regarding his conduct in the infected blood inquiry. trib.al/cHMH7UD 📺 Sky 501, Virgin 602, Freeview 233 and YouTube

Shocking statistic as HMRC admit to referring 322 people to Samaritans, no doubt many #LoanChargeScandal victims. Many more will be suffering in silence. Time to end this scandal before more #LoanChargeSuicides @HuddlestonNigel @Jeremy_Hunt @RishiSunak! xitter.gq/MoneyTelegraph/status/…

I have a limited update on the s684(7A)(b) letters which have been issued to catch the years taken out of the loan charge by the Morse review. HMRC seem to have withdrawn some, effectively allowing the taxpayer to win his/her appeal without the case going to the Tribunal. 1/4

The Chancellor must halt 'cruel and dangerous' action by HMRC, says @loanchargeAPPG. Report with HMRC response. #loancharge yorkshirepost.co.uk/business…

Good morning @MelJStride I as someone who works with young entrepreneurs am deeply concerned about #LoanChargeSuicides #loanchargescandal I wrote to you sometime ago but not had a response so I am hoping your team will answer now I have tweeted you. Thanking you in anticipation

The #LoanChargeScandal continues to ruin lives. I am pleased to join colleagues from across the political spectrum in writing to the Chancellor to raise HMRC's continuing disregard for the recommendations of the Morse Review

A comprehensive destruction of HMRC's loan charge policy in the FT. Of 50k to 60k people affected, only 15k have settled with HMRC. Most of the remainder can't. HMRC's policy is a mixture of futility and brutality. Yet politicians refuse to reverse HMRC's approach 1/6

Tens of thousands of people across the country are facing crippling tax demands from HMRC for tax their employers did not pay. Sky's @GurpreetNarwan speaks to those who have been financially and psychologically affected by the Loan Charge 🔗 news.sky.com/story/i-stepped…

Thank you so much Anne. This is a horrible situation for all those affected. @LCAG_2019

☎️Constituency Calls ☎️ My first call was to Rosemary French, President of the Cranleigh Chamber of Commerce to talk about the planned changes to the High Street. She talked to me about the problems of the pavements not being wide enough, the huge success of street markets and the potential of Fountain Square. I then spoke to a Godalming resident about the loan charge and his concerns that it was an unfair form of retrospective taxation that could force him to sell his house. I then spoke to Steve Madincea, chair of Creative Surrey and neighbour of mine in Hambledon about how to get things done in the public sector. Finally I spoke to a lady from Godalming about eligibility for the government’s childcare offer which is not available if one parent is earning over £100k. That is an issue I would really like to sort out after the next election as I am aware that it is not huge salary in our area if you have a mortgage to pay.
