Labour and the self-employed with Abena Oppong Asare MP, Shadow Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury

  • Webinar

2020 was a tumultuous year for everyone, including the Labour Party. With a new leader and a largely new shadow cabinet, the Party had to quickly adapt to the pandemic and a slew of new initiatives coming from government.

But where does the Party stand now on the issues that contractors and sole traders care about most? Join this webinar to hear the answer to that question from Shadow Exchequer Secretary, Abena Oppong-Asare MP.

The webinar will cover:

  • What is Labour’s attitude overall to those who work for themselves? 
  • What is Labour’s view on the ‘excluded’ self-employed? What should be done to support those impacted by Covid, but excluded from SEISS?
  • IR35 – After backing a delay to April changes last year, what does the party now think and what are its concerns about the imminent roll out?
  • And on tax and employment status more generally – what should the tax and rights position be of those who work for themselves?

As always there will be plenty of opportunity to ask your questions during the webinar, but feel free to send them in advance to [email protected].
