Just out - see https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/59ba5c50ed915d1966a0f767/CTC_0982_2017-00.pdf - or the attachment below.

Funny on one level, but on another entirely frustrating - in a world that was anything approaching the one it should be, heads would roll and those with the power to change things would ensure that such a judicial excoriation wasn’t justified in the future.

But it isn’t going to happen, is it?

“I used the phrase “Well, here we go again” with a sense of frustration, bordering
on despair”

sounds like my working life that.

This is where you end up if you privatise taxation and destroy informal inquisitorial appeal tribunals. Depressing.
