Raised wage costs through higher NIC's, strengthened unions and given them new rights, raised capital gains tax and tightened non-dom rules None of these changes create the "right conditions" for startups and entrepreneurship

You and your fellow Reform MP's had an opportunity to help "protect and promote" fishing at today's debate on fishing but none of you seemed concerned or bothered enough to turn up Reform yet again showing they are not serious

More economic data emerging to show the negative impacts which Labour's budget is having If people dont have confidence in the state of the UK economy they will not go out and spend. In turn this will act as a drag and hold back the much needed economic growth

- Angela Rayner expresses outrage at PMQs that the Tories could possibly suggest that Labour broke promises on taxation - here’s an FT reminder of the multiple ways in which Labour misled people over taxes ft.com/content/07feaa…

Up to 100,000 more pensioners could be pushed into poverty due to Labour removing WFP according to modelling from the DWP No wonder Labour chose to release it on a day when the media would be focused on the farmers protesting the unjust IHT changes

The budget makes it harder for young couples to afford starting a family and is bad for the economy as high child care costs can force parents to reduce hours worked Conservative's must commit to lowering costs through changing regulation's to allow more kids per adult carer

*sighs*…. In the Lakes you can have a farm worth millions on paper, and earn less than the minimum wage. If you have to sell it to pay IHT, the farm will go into the hands of massive corporate types. This reduces food production, harms the environment and is simply unjust.

Labour in government has consistently talked down the economy and talked up the 'measures' it would have to take Unsurprisingly this has killed off business and consumer confidence resulting in a slower growing economy this = less jobs, lower wages and less tax receipts

Companies are cancelling planned investment in the UK because of Labours budget This means less economic growth + job creation making the country worse off and less tax receipts for the government It won't be long until Labour are raising taxes again ft.com/content/919a6e…

Labour ending the increase in the stamp duty threshold brought in by the Conservatives is a kick in the teeth for first time buyers and bad for the economy Young people will need to stump up an extra few thousand to get on the housing ladder thisismoney.co.uk/money/mortgage…

The change to APR will raise only £520million (approx 0.06% of govt's tax revenue) but will affect the majority of farms in the UK reducing our food security + pushing up prices The average farm is about 210acres and 3x bigger than the 60-70acre's which = the £1million limit

An awful tax grab on hard working farmers and shows how little Labour understands/cares about farming or the rural community Forcing the splitting up of farms will not encourage farmers to carry on or people to invest and take up farming causing higher food prices

Labour's budget will hit lowest earners and young the hardest through lower wage growth + higher prices whilst discourages entrepreneurship -Lower disposable income -Buying your first property will be harder -Starting a family will be harder Not pro worker or pro growth

Imagine being so self-indulgent you make the murder of children (and subsequent charging of the murderer) about yourself - "I was right all along" 🤮 He may be an MP, but he's no statesman, still the man ranting to himself from the corner of the pub, trying to stir up hatred.

Slavery was abhorrent but the UK has paid its debt through the billions paid in forgien aid given to these countries The focus should be on preventing modern day slavery and trafficking which still happens in many countries
