Socialists don’t understand ambition or success. Not one Cabinet Minister has ever run a business. That’s why Labour are set on blowing out Britain’s entrepreneurial spark.

Some deliberate actions of this government - Chagos and the foolish scrapping of the Rwanda deterrent come to mind - are so damaging that it will be no surprise if future generations wish to hold the individuals involved to account in some way.

Employment Tribunals is the broken system few have heard of. They make the immigration tribunal look good!. 500k on a waiting list with far too many spurious cases. Here’s an explainer on the top 5 worst cases and why if Labour have their way next week, it will get much worse👇

I am determined to deliver for the UK. That's why in the last month I've travelled over 2,000 miles, met over 40 businesses, and visited numerous locations across the nation, meeting working people and hearing first-hand the issues that matter to them.

30-year gilt yields now over 5.6%. Labour’s reckless spending is hammering taxpayers. Every time this rate goes up, it’s an even heavier burden on the shoulders of the next generation. We've got a huge problem on our hands, and cutting spending is the only way to solve it.

Rachel Reeves was warned of precisely this yet went ahead anyway. The impact on high streets and communities will be substantial; on those who have lost their jobs much greater. It beggars belief and yet rather than cut her out-of-control spending, she plans more tax rises.

We said Starmer’s deal was a ‘tiny tariff’ agreement, not a proper trade deal. This below - together with the lack of protection for UK life science companies and other sectors - is precisely why. Don’t waste time on Chagos, sort this! 👇

Politicians always say they will cut red tape. I’m building a plan to actually make it happen. I’m hiring a Red Tape Researcher to help me trawl through Government bureaucracy and formulate a strategy to reform, mitigate or completely overturn the blockages to growth. If you’re

As families and businesses go back to work next week, the nation’s unions - emboldened by the support of the Labour government they helped install - plan to get on with strikes and holding the economy to ransom. Labour must shelve its union-inspired (Un)Employment Bill now.

The collapse of Liberty Steel is the outcome of Labour’s ruinously high energy costs driven by net zero dogma. British businesses cannot go on like this any longer. As well as lower taxes, we need the government to exploit the cheap energy resources the UK already has.

This burden will sit on the shoulders of the next generation for decades to come. This is an outrageous betrayal of hard working young people who are being let down by this Government at every turn.

🏛️Taxes up. 🚫 More employment red tape. 🥶 Highest energy costs in Europe. ⚙️No wonder today’s manufacturing index is down again and below the 50% baseline indicating decline.⤵️

Her latest wheeze: taxing your house once when you sell it, once when you buy it and then again when you die! Moronic.

As the Space Minister up until last year’s election I want to see more detail, but so far I am concerned about these plans. Yes, there was too much duplication across government with the research councils and space-related responsibilities spread across DBT, DfT and more. Being

Almost as if someone had raised taxes on jobs, hiked business rates and for political reasons bumped up minimum wages faster than productivity. and firms had raised prices to survive.

The fault for this inflation lies squarely in Downing Street. Labour’s jobs tax, rates hikes and minimum wage rises have all fed through to higher prices - just as predicted.
