The government invites us all to respond to their consultations. They have dozens of consultations open at any one time.
I’m going reply. Well, it would be rude not to, surely?
I’m going to start with the consultations about tax (because that’s the area of government I know most about) and then work my way through them.

Well, let’s see…
You’ve written on accounting web about the OTS claims and elections call for evidence and encouraged others to reply. It looks like aat have taken note as this response is not on their consultation response page: https://www.aat.org.uk/prod/s3fs-public/assets/AAT-response-OTS-Claims-Elections-Review.pdf
It makes for quite a good read!
I meant “now” not “not”
