HMRC make the headlines as they track down the tax-dodging millionaire owner of BHS, Dominic Chappell. Callous fraudsters use the Grenfell Tower disaster as an opportunity to steal tens of thousands from a council trying to help residents in desperate need, and a farmer uses the countryside as an illegal dumping ground, costing the public purse thousands of pounds and putting people’s health at risk.
