So, to compensate for HMRC ignoring tax dodging millionaires, from today, HMRC is going after people trying to make a few extra quid selling things on online marketplaces like Ebay and Vinted.
If you wanted to sum up the state of the UK right now, this does it perfectly 🙄🤬

The railways are literally crumbling beneath train wheels! Something bad is coming and all in the name of reduced maintenance by Network Rail to save a few quid - that's how the Tories value life
Another week, another broken rail on a 125mph section of the GWML. Wet beds everywhere.
