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.

The (Un)Employment Rights Bill will slash growth and hurt businesses. Imperial Econ professor and recent @bankofengland MPC member @HaskelEcon said today this bill should not go ahead. There is no point in changing employment law if you can’t get a job in the first place.

And now they’ve handed the steel unions the cheque book and are begging the Chinese owner to pay their dues when this should’ve been sorted out upfront. Evidence here👇 https://t.co/pE8v594CDd

Labour has a BS problem. Taxpayers cash for British Steel has soared by a third over the last month to nearly £1.3m a day. And that’s before the impact of crippling tariffs from the PM’s failed EU reset. It’s crystal clear the Government never had a proper plan.

If you raise tax on jobs and burden the employers that offer them, look what happens:

Rising unemployment is a disaster for the economy and a tragedy for affected families. The growing crisis of young people not being able to find work is a prime example of Labour taking our country in the wrong direction. 😱

We didn’t just announce policies this week. We announced plans. The @Conservatives are serious about building a stronger economy. We will create a culture that supports risk takers and wealth creators from day one.

Good to attend @griffitha MP's roundtable to discuss everything from firearms licensing to the impact devolution will have on rural communities. Arundel & South Downs is incredibly rural, and needs a strong voice in Parliament - thanks for your time & engagement #CLA @CLAtweets

The results of this review are now not likely to be out until the similarly delayed Budget. It’s no wonder business confidence is at an all time low.

Instead, they’re endlessly delaying action whilst it’s literally ‘last orders’ for many pubs and businesses in the hospitality sector. As @UKHofficial points out, 89,000 jobs have been lost in hospitality since Rachel Reeves’s first budget.

This anti-fun, prohibitionist government needs to get on with implementing the recommendations from the licensing task-force that was published back in June.

The answer to the crisis facing pubs and the night time economy is never yet another Whitehall call for evidence. Our landlords, punters and communities are being let down. 🧵👇

We want to make it easier for pubs and bars to offer the kinds of experiences people love. That's why we’re looking to hear from the people that know best: landlords, punters and communities. Have your say on licensing rules by 6 November 2025 👉 https://t.co/plsigyMavi

This week, @KemiBadenoch proved the @Conservatives are serious. We showed we have a plan for a stronger economy, for stronger borders, how we will always be on the side of Britain’s risk takers. If that’s the Britain you stand for, stand with us.

Which jobs crisis to worry about? AI may lead to job losses - but AI is also likely to lead to new, different jobs. There is a jobs crisis TODAY in the chemicals industry which is a vital part of every high value manufacturing supply chain. And they are not coming back! 👇

Abolishing stamp duty is the single best reform any government could make to Britain's tax system. As things stand, this outdated and uneconomic levy is wreaking havoc on our already troubled housing market – by deterring sales and depressing house-building...

Stamp duty’s plagued Britain since Labour introduced it in 2003. It can’t be reformed, it can’t be tweaked: it has to go. Conservatives will abolish stamp duty and stop penalising those who want to own a home, build a family or to downsize.

The ineptitude of this socialist government knows no bounds. Driving wealth creators and success out of our country, making us all poorer.

We have to crush the barriers to starting a business. The UK should be easiest place in the world for entrepreneurs to launch - but years of fetishism for regulation have got in the way. That's why I announced plans to stamp out the blockages to business.
