It's an argument for everyone to go self employed IMO, let the industry dictate its own price over employers and expense stuff folk on PAYE contracts have to pay themselves.
It baffles me just by going self-employed all my travel costs are covered by expenses.
Or we can just take the advice of Deutsche Bank and tax WFH at 5% because Corporate Landlords are the real victims of inequality and we must support them as the most vulnerable members of society.

Your second point has irked me for some time.
Baffling innit.
When I worked in Norwich my options were...
Pay £260 monthly for the train. Drive it, be knackered from the A140 daily and save around £160 a month.
I went for option two and it nearly killed me, even with a day WFH each week. And I was relatively well paid, I know some people who pay close to those levels to get back and forth to a minimum wage job.

I am dreaming of a WFH job. No commute, no office, no travel expenses.
I resented every second of my commute at my last job.

As you voted leave, you'll be picking turnips by hand in bitterly cold fields in Lincolnshire for the next thirty years.
Before a twelve hour shift delivering personal care.
Why don't you run for MP, work your way up to leader and have a manifesto with a flagship policy of shooting all of us leave voters and sharing our assets out among remainers as compensation?

I said in 2016 I'd happily leave the EU if those who voted for it took all the burden. I even said on the flip you can claim all the benefits too and remoaners can suffer.
Weird no one ever took up that offer.
Who was it on here who had the Union Jack butterfly emerging gloriously from a small box brandishing the EU flag as their avatar again? That aged well...
EDIT: Looked it up and it came from a Spectator cover.
I mean, imagine believing a word that comes out of that alt-right funded culture war rag?!

You work in fields for the next thirty or forty years.
I'll enjoy watching that far more. And I remember you being perfectly willing to do it.
Must admit I find this scheme a little bizarre given the majority of workers now WFH are surely better off financially without commuting costs? Appreciate it's not the case for everyone but I'm thousands better off in 2020 than I was in 2019 as a result.
Personally I would rather these funds were invested in protecting the jobs most impacted by people not being out and about, such as those in hospitality and retail.

How long was your commute?
I work in enemy territory and have a round trip of 2.5 hours on the road each day (if I am going to the office every day), I quite enjoy it. In my last job I lived 5 minutes away but when I took this one on I decided to see it as a positive, over an hour of blasting some tunes out and a chance to unwind before I get home.

From Ipswich, it was during rush hour too. I hated Long Stratton so much I wrote a song about it.
I liked the music aspect but having a 2 hour morning commute and an hour and a half back (on a good day) killed me mentally and physically. The knock on effects of that outside of work was quite high too, no one’s got time for eating healthy and a social life when you are either driving, working or sleeping.
Yes claimed this a few weeks ago and my tax code has now changed.
I was travelling an hour in the car each way for my job so WFH is good from that respective. Even though I speak to people on the phone, it still isn't the same as seeing people in person.
However, when I pop in the office here and there, I do think "thankfully I don't have to do this much at the moment" haha

The travel expenses rules aren’t all that different in principle - whether you’re employed or self-employed, you can’t claim deductions for travel costs to a fixed or regular workplace, though you usually can for travel to any temporary workplaces or other travel on business. It’s just that, in practice, self-employed people are more likely to travel around on business, and most employed people who do will be able to expense their travel to their employer, so won’t even need to think about getting a tax deduction for it.
