IR35 is not really about the working class though is it? It's about the professional class of contractors, tv presenters etc, who at various times were doing things that looked suspiciously like regular jobs, but somehow were paying a lot less tax.

I agree the implementation of IR35 is an absolute, grade-A clusterfuck, and leaves workers having to do things like buy IR35 insurance, and make in/out determinations themselves, only for HMRC to come up with new ways to try and classify them as 'managed service companies', or a myriad other ways to undermine the entire sector, such that financial ruin can be dangled over people's heads like the sword of damocles...

But working class? Pull the other one!
