🗣️Labour MP Ben Goldsborough has admitted something many UK small businesses have been saying for months: the Employment Rights Act is not a vote winner🧵
Our Advisory Board Member @TheBluetrot remarks upon the budget.
Rather than helping with the cost of living, the Chancellors policies have raised the cost of living for hard pressed Brits.

Britain needed another Big Bang...instead the Chancellor delivered more taxes.
The problem with the government is its mentality. Instead of making savings it taxes more to spend more.
Instead of reducing borrowing it commits to more spending.

On this we agree with the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
"We had a referendum. We’re out of the European Union. The challenge for me now is how do we make the best of an economy which this year has proved remarkably resilient"
No return to the EU.

The UK is forecast to have a terrible decade on living standards.
The governments uncontrolled borrowing and spending is not sustainable.
We need a radical change in direction and we need it now.

The Chancellors Budget has done nothing for business or to make the UK more competitive.
With this government we have more spending, more taxation and more borrowing.
This government is the most anti-business government we have seen in years.

Seeking a return to the EU would harm growth and diminish investment in the UK.
Our Chair @john4IBN remarks on how endless negotiations would bring uncertainty and remove our ability to be flexible, deregulate and grow the economy.

Our Advisory Board Member, @julianHjessop responds to the Chancellors Budget.
We need a credible medium term plan to reduce public spending, which will require tough decisions.
The levels of borrowing, taxation and spending are not sustainable.

Nobody opposes increasing wages. But the Labour government don't seem to understand that businesses need to make a profit to afford pay increases.
When you tax businesses to death there isn't any profit to pay for your pay increases. Its called maths.

Our Advisory Board Member, @TheBluetrot says that the Labour government is delivering a Budget to prepare for an election not the needs of the country.
We need an urgent change in direction. We are on the path to ruin. The government must listen.

Our Advisory Board Member, Roger Bootle, says the Budget today is taking place in dangerous circumstances.
Huge government borrowing costs, soaring debt, taxes and massive government spending. IT IS NOT SUSTAINABLE.
telegraph.co.uk/business/202…
The government today will announce more taxes, more spending, no change on net-zero, no real moves on deregulating. That is why the British economy is stagnating.
We need a radical change of direction. We need capitalism to come back.

All this government is capable of doing is tax and spend, tax and spend, borrow to plug the gap.
It is not sustainable. It is not affordable. It is not fair on British businesses and consumers.
Shrink the State. Someone needs to say it and we will.m

The IBN isn't political. We support any party that follows policies that we support.
But our Prime Minister is a people pleaser. He wants to spend, borrow and give hand outs that we cannot afford.
It is a recipe for disaster and we will all pay for it.
spectator.com/article/andy-b…
We all want to see wage increases. Nobody disagrees with increasing wages...but Chancellor, your governemnt has taxed businesses to death.
We cannot pay ourselves more than we earn. Where is the money coming from?
cityam.com/healey-to-increas…
Our Chair @john4IBN urges the governemnt to adopt a radical change in dierection to stimulate economic growth.
High taxation, regulation, net-zero, a huge state its killing UK businesses.
We need a capitalist economy to improve living standards.

Economist @LiamHalligan says that France has been living beyond her means for far too long. Not so different to us in the UK.
The Chancellor needs to look to France to remind us that excessive tax, bloated spending and huge borrowing is not good.

With the Budget due to take plece on Wednesday, our Advisory Board Member, Roger Bootle reflects on the challenges facing the country.
A Healey, unprecedented debt, soaring energy bills, huge state spending, taxes, its all like the 1970s.
telegraph.co.uk/business/202…
Our Chair @john4IBN says that the UK economy faces disaster unless the government adopts more pro-enterprise, pro-business policies.
Our recent paper on measures to support business calls for a range of measures to facilitate growth.

The realities under this government.
HMRC writes off billions in tax as businesses collapse.
Net zero, a bloated state, regulation and soaring taxes are destroying the private sector.
We need a massive change in policy.

Returning to the orbit of Brussels would be a disaster for the British economy and for family run and family owned business.
We need the government to slash regulation, cut tax and let businesses thrive, not tinker with treaties with Brussels.
