These people are deeply stupid … Labour Minister Emma Reynolds says employers are NOT “working people”. They’re “companies”.
Oh Emma …99.9% of British businesses are SMEs, providing 60% of private sector jobs. And you just trashed them.
▪️95% of British businesses are MICROBUSINESSES. Ordinary people running shops, farms, cafés, building firms and family businesses. Working longer hours than their staff.
▪️ they take fewer holidays and have no guaranteed sick pay or maternity leave/paternity leave
▪️ Pay their staff even when customers haven’t paid them. I remember not paying myself. Often.
▪️ pay themselves LAST.
▪️ risk their own savings and homes through personal guarantees.
▪️ responsible for tax, regulations, pensions and employer’s NI.
▪️ company directors taking a salary, are on PAYE, just like their employees!
They take all the risk! What a stupid comment.

You can slave away every hour God sends to start or grow your own business.
This Labour Cabinet Minister still won't consider you a "working person".
This sums up their entire approach to the world. Moronic and insulting.
'I don't think employers are working people.'
@CamillaTominey grills Chief Secretary to the Treasury, Emma Reynolds MP, over whether Labour has breached its manifesto pledge in the Budget.

I'm very down about the state of this country. Most of our politicians have no idea what real life is like for so many.
They're full of greed, entitlement and snobbery. We're falling fast as a country, and people will still vote for the two parties that have slowly demolished all that is British and all that is right.
Unforgivable from the Conservatives and Labour.

Emma Reynolds, a Labour Treasury Minister, has just said on Camilla Tominey’s show on GB News ‘I don’t think employers are working people, they are companies’
Is she for real?! How gobsmackingly lacking in any real world or business understanding.
My dad - like hundreds of thousands of small business owners - was an employer ….and very much a working person!
Emma Reynolds has just kicked every small business owner in the country and shown Labour’s true colours. This lot are not fit to be in government.

Here is a breakdown of the Labour frontbench career experience prior to becoming an MP. Hardly any private sector experience. These are the people now deciding tax rates, regulation, industrial and economic strategy. Precious little work experience of generating a profit, making payroll or gaining a client or a customer. Economic illiterates.

🚨 BREAKING: A UK bank chief executive has said of Healey's budget:
"Taxing the engines of growth to reduce VAT on gherkins is end-of-Rome level of stupidity"

Look at them. Three on the step, the eleven on the door, the box held up like a trophy.
Not one of the three has held the same job for a year.
Left, James Murray. Tax minister, then Chief Secretary, then Health Secretary for nine weeks, then back to the Treasury as Financial Secretary and Paymaster General. Four posts in two years. The nine weeks was the National Health Service. The longest stretch he has managed is the one that decides what you pay.
Centre, John Healey. Twenty nine years in the House and the only one of them who has done a decade at anything. He resigned as Defence Secretary in June because the Treasury would not fund three per cent. Six weeks later the Prime Minister who replaced the last Prime Minister made him Chancellor. The man who called the Treasury unwilling is now the Treasury.
Right, Emma Reynolds. Resigned from the frontbench in 2015 the moment Corbyn arrived, lost her seat in 2019, went off to lobby for TheCityUK, came back in 2024 and has had four ministerial jobs since. She is Chief Secretary now, which means she signs off the spending, and this Budget puts three per cent on the bank surcharge. The City's lobbyist is taxing the City.
Ten posts between the three of them. One photograph. And a country being told to have hope.
Nobody in that picture has been anywhere long enough to be blamed for it.

WTF? A Prime Minister who has never run a business in his life demands answers because a private business fails? … let me help you, Andy & co.
A retail chain needs to stay in fashion, needs to go with the flow! … But you and successive governments don’t like their “tat” products (mostly sourced off shore to sell them at £1!!! That the whole point right?) anyway…
for free (without a taxpayer funded £MULTIMILLION enquiry I’ll tell you the problems… (you’re welcome)
▪️massively increased regulations and compliance costs.
▪️cheap tat sourced from abroad, with rising shipping and transport costs.
▪️Hit by increased minimum wages and employer National Insurance.
▪️Hit by rising rents and business rates.
▪️Hit by soaring energy bills and net zero costs.
▪️Hit by higher interest rates.
▪️Hit by consumers with less disposable income.
▪️Hit by the soaring cost of borrowing to buy stock months in advance.
▪️Hit by higher insurance premiums.
▪️Hit by shoplifting, organised theft and security costs.
▪️Hit by packaging taxes, recycling regulations and environmental compliance costs.( which you just throw into general taxation, non of it changes the weather)
▪️Hit by higher fuel, warehousing and distribution costs.
▪️Hit by increased employment costs, pensions and statutory obligations.
▪️Hit by competition from overseas online retailers operating with very different overheads.( duty free … for foreign businesses oops)
▪️And hit by the impossibility of passing those costs onto customers, who shop at Poundland precisely because they need cheap stuff! … which isn’t cheap anymore (see above)
Every single time you add something on … so do they!
And the idiot, deluded politicians who have made Britain more and more expensive and difficult to do business in, are demanding to know why businesses are struggling?
You are all moronic. My work here is done 🤡

If you want to end #RoughSleeping for 5000 people #AndyBurnham, just deport one months worth of illegal migrants and give their rooms to Brits.
Job done.
Money saved.

We owe £3 trillion. We spend more on working-age benefits than we raise in income tax. Our social security budget is five times our actual security budget. And these two are pretending to be gap-year vloggers in Bangkok.

When Andy Burnham was a Labour MP he bought a London
flat worth £215,000 using Parliamentary expenses including a
£16,644 claim for stamp duty and legal fees including a new
kitchen.
It is now worth £480,000.
After you weren't allowed full mortgage interest claims on
rental properties, he simply went on to rent the flat out and later claimed public rental expenses for a separate London accommodation.
This is who Andy Burnham is. Andy for him not Andy for us.

🚨 NEARLY TWO MILLION FOREIGN NATIONALS CLAIM BRITISH WELFARE COSTING TAXPAYERS 23 BILLION POUNDS!
I need every working person busting a gut forty hours a week to read these staggering figures right now.
A bombshell report from the Centre for Social Justice reveals that 1.85 million non British adults are actively drawing state welfare benefits or pensions.
That includes 1.3 million foreign nationals on Universal Credit and 200,000 on sickness handouts, draining domestic taxpayers of an eye watering 23 billion pounds every single year.
The data shows this foreign benefits bill is set to explode to 27 billion pounds by 2030, shattering the myth that open borders help the British economy.
John Healey claims the Treasury has a 35 billion pound deficit, using it to justify tax raids on your home, your fuel tank, and your retirement pot.
At the exact same time, Burnham stripped winter fuel support from freezing British grandmothers while happily bankrolling an international welfare free for all.
Westminster has turned Great Britain into an automated cash dispenser for the rest of the world while brutally squeezing the domestic working class who built this country.
Retweet this official data immediately to expose the multi billion pound welfare betrayal politicians refuse to talk about. 🇬🇧🔥

A CHRISTIAN COUNTRY. A CHRISTIAN PARLIAMENT. SO WHY IS THE QURAN ON THE DESPATCH BOX?
This is Britain. This is the Mother of Parliaments. Built on the Bible, built on Christian values, built on 1000 years of OUR history.
And now look at it.
An MP swearing allegiance to this country with her hand on the Quran in the House of Commons.
How is this even allowed? How did we go from defenders of the faith to this?
If you want to swear to serve BRITAIN, you swear on the Bible. It's that simple. If the Bible isn't good enough for you to swear on, then Parliament isn't the place for you.
We are losing our country in front of our own eyes and everyone is too scared to say it.
BRITAIN IS A CHRISTIAN COUNTRY. ACT LIKE IT.

Am I going off my flipping head here?
Surely I've got this wrong.
They are letting out 650 convicted criminals today.650 men that have been found guilty by juries or judges.
And yet,they are keeping Danny Tommo @RealDannyTommo in until march at the earliest.And he has not been convicted of anything?He hasn't even had a trial yet.
This government are turning this country into a police state.They are using the courts,the police and the prisons to silence opposition.
