Put up tax rates too much, and the amount collected goes down
Leftists don’t understand this and think you can just keep putting taxes up and keep getting more money
You can’t. People leave. Don’t invest, Don’t bother working or work less
Labour doesn’t realise this

The House of Lords is about to pass the Hillsborough Law without including themselves.
Peers could mislead the public on TV and break no law.
Ask me in the comments how you can help.
Dave Chaplin - CEO, ContractorCalculator retweeted
Government ministers: yes. MPs: nope. Peers: nope.
The Prime Minister is covered. Backbench MPs and peers aren't.
Help me change it before it becomes law: share this.

📈Our modern monetary system was set up like this to keep the bond markets going. The bond markets are needed because we refuse to live within our means.
🧨A recipe for disaster.
🪙When money was tied to gold, it held its value. The final link to gold was severed in 1971.

😱When banks create a loan or buy government bonds, they do so by creating money out of thin air.
Money has been created by BfE to buy Govt bonds, funding our addictive spending habits, as happened during the COVID-19 pandemic.
👇This has made us all poorer and will continue to do so.

We definitely don’t want wealthy people coming to the UK, investing a minimum of £5 million in British companies, paying taxes and building businesses.
Crazy idea.

Our national debt has just hit £3 trillion.
We were told by the "grown ups" in both parties that putting up taxes, Net Zero and high immigration would bring the debt down.
This is the counterfactual of what I sought to do in the Mini-Budget.
And it has been a disaster.

All employment regulations hit small businesses hardest
Chart of the Day 🤓
Today's vacancies data show how government policy choices - including many which have made it more expensive and riskier to employ people - have hit job opportunities at small businesses particularly hard... 🙄

🚨 BREAKING: Andy Burnham announces a £200 million scheme to ensure supermarket trolleys have four wheels pointing in the same direction.

Falling job vacancies are an inevitable consequence when small businesses are increasingly burdened and penalised rather than supported by the Government. The result is fewer opportunities, lost jobs and, ultimately, businesses being forced to close their doors for good. At a time when youth unemployment is at an alarming high, we should be backing the very businesses that can create jobs, offer young people opportunities and drive economic growth. Small businesses are the backbone and lifeblood of the British economy, yet the Government’s approach risks undermining the very people who keep our local economies going.

BREAKING: Andy Burnham to legislate that all sellotape must come with a dispenser to prevent losing the end. The PM said, “When taping up your broken windows after a riot, there is nothing worse than losing the end of the tape. I’m ending that”

This in today’s @FT from someone who was an adviser to Andy Burnham is quite the comment:

This Labour Government has got its priorities dangerously wrong. While welfare spending rockets out of control, they are cutting £2 BILLION from the Army's frontline equipment. An absolute disgrace.
telegraph.co.uk/politics/202…
At a time when the threats to Britain are greater than they have been for decades, Labour is stripping away vital military capability.
The first duty of any government is the defence of the nation. Yet Labour refuses to get a grip on runaway spending while finding cuts to our Armed Forces. What sort of government thinks that is acceptable?
This is a government that has lost control of spending and is now putting Britain's security at risk. Our Armed Forces deserve far better than this dangerously incompetent Labour Government.

The @andyburnham plan to fine people up to £1,000 for playing loud music on buses is a gimmick. Asked who will enforce the law Downing St admits: they haven't a clue
