All of you long-suffering taxpayers still waiting years for your own refunds, dodging phantom penalties, or getting chased for returns you’ve already filed.
Spare a wry chuckle for James McMurdock, the MP who’s just had his tax affairs given the full once-over by HMRC; and walked away not only cleared, but with a nice little refund in his pocket.
Mr McMurdock, the MP for South Basildon and East Thurrock, faced intense media and public scrutiny over the past year regarding his former businesses. This included questions around past company activities and eligibility for COVID-era Bounce Back Loans. As part of this process, his tax affairs and business records underwent examination by HMRC.
In a statement shared on X (formerly Twitter), the MP described the outcome as vindication:
"The letter I recently received from HMRC confirmed, after their careful review, that they, in fact, owed me a refund."

ReplyDeleteIt is our duty to point out that the MP in this article has a criminal conviction for assaulting a young woman and spent 21 days in YOI. He didn’t declare the conviction before entering parliament and Nigel quite rightly kicked him out of Reform.
Farage did not kick McMurdock out of Reform UK. In fact, when the assault conviction came to light Reform said that it was not an issue as the conviction was 'spent'.
DeleteWhen the Times queried the validity of the Bounce Back loans McMurdock voluntarily requested that he be suspended from the party. As yet he has not rejoined.
I would have thought that your team of dedicated, forensic Investigators would have been able to find this out quite easily.
That's not true, though.
DeleteNigel has made it quite clear that only those of the highest integrity are welcome in Reform - that's why the thug hasn't rejoined. Maybe Liebour will have him since they've put a fraudster in the Cabinet...
My post is absolutely 100% true.
DeleteFarage has not at any point banned McMurdock from Reform.
As for only those of the highest integrity being allowed in Reform, one of their councillors in Sunderland has just been charged with racist communication. While I understand that he hasn't been found guilty yet and deserves a fair trial, perhaps suggesting that Nigerians should be melted down and used to fill in potholes isn't a good example of the "highest integrity".
I wonder how long he'll have to wait before he gets the refund.
ReplyDeleteYou've little chance of getting them on the phone, happy to send a brown envelope to Mildred and a nasty letter.
ReplyDeleteKicking the bucket is no release from HMRC tentacles, low hanging fruit no doubt and more hassle and upset for the families.

I hate HMRC the sooner they're abolished the better.

Hopefully the new Prime Minister will abolish HMRC within the next year and replace it with a leaner, fitter organisation not tainted by the legacy of incompetence, malpractice and corruption
