Former MP & Minister for London, Small Business & Technology. Back to the real world of work
Sutton, UK
Joined November 2008
Unlike much of the Chancellor's target audience I had to attend some work meetings so I've just seen that I will now pay a higher marginal tax rate as a sole director than if I was PAYE. Meanwhile @KemiBadenoch made her best speech as LOTO to date-
If you missed it. This is Kemi Badenoch's response to Rachel Reeves' disaster budget *in full*. I've never seen anything like it. Kemi tears her to shreds. This is absolutely brutal. Well worth a watch š„

@faisalislam The Chancellor talks about funding Sizewell C. Seems like an age (spoiler alert: it is) since I gave planning permission

MPs always burst with pride about Gibraltar but they're turning their back on the Rock which relies on gaming companies for a third of their tax revenue and 10% of employment. Collateral damage for the failure of UK government
The gambling industry is going to be taxed more, to raise more than Ā£1bn, the chancellor will reveal in the budget. The OBR's analysis of Rachel Reeves's budget says that the changes to gambling taxes will raise Ā£1.1bn. Read more: https://t.co/I7qgBT2fdg

@faisalislam It'll be the first time ever that the Leader of the Opposition will know what's in the Budget when responding so big test for Kemi to see how flexible she can be šæ

The BBC have cut away from PMQs so that journalists can read out the Budget that the Chancellor will deliver in half an hour. How has the government sunk so low to lose control of a market sensitive process which will affect millions of people?

šØReevesā policies donāt just hurt start-ups, they risk pushing out giants. If the AngloāTeck merger goes ahead, the new group could shift away from the UK entirely. Another World-class British-listed company pushed to the brink by a Govt that talks growth while chasing it out

My latest article for the @Telegraph ahead of next week's Budget. Stability without growth is just stagnation. Businesses want opportunity -

The Government talks about āstabilityā. But stability without growth is just stagnation

I said 18 months ago that if moderate voices were driven out of the discussion on integration & community cohesion then extremes would be left to fill the void. The dehumanising behaviour @NJ_Timothy shares here is at the root of the very behaviour they claim to be against #NoGo
I went to watch my boyhood club Aston Villa last night. Over 700 police officers deployed. The mob outside the ground were calling for the death of Jews - and the Government let it happen.

My latest op-ed about the need to repair London's listing offer. We still have excellent fundamentals but need to respond, not react to our competitors if we're serious about retaining & attracting leading companies

Every firm that abandons its London listing makes the next departure more likely

That's nothing. We have Hammersmith Bridge...oh wait!
NEW: China officially opens the worldās tallest bridge, completing the project in under 4 years. The bridge features a restaurant at the top, a whopping 2600 ft above the river. The bridge not only cuts a 2-hour drive to 2 minutes, but also features as a theme park with a glass
