Rather than (once again) 'cracking down' on benefits cheats (who as research has shown again & again are actually a pretty small group), perhaps the Govt. might find it more cost effective to encourage the HMRC to find ways to get Roman Abramovic to pay the £1bn in taxes he owes....
Oh wait minute, he's rich & therefore someone to be treated carefully (and asked politely) while people on benefits, well they're just scammers, aren't they.... /s
@ChrisMayLA6 you've left out the bit about the VAT scheme being deliberately complex so he could disguise his (alleged) fraud, whilst most benefits mistakes are simply errors due to the idiotic complexity of the process. My now wife when a single mum, found herself owing thousands as her income rise above the threshold for one day, and she failed to notify them within the very short window, they wanted all her benefits back. The problems of gig work.
