Hope you act @CoventryCityFC and punish this vile creature. I will not give the pleasure of calling him a Football fan. RIP Bradley

Can the FA just nip this shit in the bud right now and make it a lifetime, all-stadium ban if you wave a photo of Bradley Lowery at Sunderland fans to taunt them. It’s beyond sick and this isn’t the first time it’s happened either.

Shame on you @EmmaforWycombe I cannot tell you how much this has annoyed me and insulted thousands of business owners who pay your salary. My Dad used to work 16 hours a day in the business he started. Is he not a working person? What about when my Mum opened her shops and did 60 hour weeks? Also not working? What about business owners today? You’ve shown you have no understanding of what they go through and- heaven help us-you are at the treasury and help write the budget. I’ll say again we are doomed.

What an astonishingly ignorant remark. Employers take risks, invest money, create jobs and pay wages. Perhaps this Labour MP should try running a business and meeting a payroll before lecturing others on who deserves to be called a working person.

“I don’t think employers are working people”. Emma Reynolds, Chief Secretary to the Treasury. Beyond belief.
Car crash interview on GB News. Labour's Emma Reynolds: 'I don't think employers are working people, they are companies.' Tell that to every small business owner opening up at 6am. Labour promised no tax rises on working people, and now it's redefining who counts.

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is the Labour problem. Employers are the people who drive growth in our country. Employers take the risks, create the jobs and pay the wages. They are working people, carrying the stress of the risks of employing, and the weight of the Government’s abysmal decisions. A Government that can't see that will never get Britain growing.

Well there we have it. Labour’s truth. Take the risk to set up and run a small business employing people? Labour doesn’t consider you a working person. Labour do not get how businesses work.

I genuinely think this comment, said with such certainty, sums up the entire problem with the Labour Party. None of them understand business.

What an insult!! According to Labour “Employers aren’t working people” Shocking ignorance. Employers risk their own money, work all hours, sacrifice family time and put everything on the line to create jobs and pay wages. What exactly does Labour think employers do all day? Sip Bacardis on a beach. We are doomed, this shows Labour has no idea what it takes to grow an economy or the vital role employers play. That’s why they will keep punishing them.

This is an insult to every single business in Britain. From the family run, to small and medium size business, they are the backbone of the UK economy, led by people who work 7 days a week, who have risked their own money and made personal sacrifices to provide employment and economic security to people across the country. Labour are the most ignorant and dogmatic government of our time when it comes to understanding the basic facts about business and the economy. mol.im/a/16256477

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.

My parents ran a small restaurant. They worked every morning and every night except Sunday night. They employed a couple of staff, but I can assure this Labour fuckwit they were working people.

You see this is the problem. Nobody in the Cabinet has ever run a business. Most small businesses owners work harder than their staff, they also frequently put their homes at risk as security for business loans. This Labour government simply don’t have a clue. My qualifications to comment - small businesses owner for decades!

What an extraordinary statement. Apparently, according to Labour, employers aren't working people. Tell that to the small business owners working 60-hour weeks, risking their savings, paying their staff and keeping their businesses afloat. Labour can play with definitions and indulge in endless whataboutery, but it cannot escape the consequences of its decisions. Taxing employers affects jobs, wages and the very people Labour claims to protect.
