Backing Business UK

The campaign to get Westminster politicians to back, not attack, British business — from the UK Shadow Business and Trade team.

🚨BREAKING NEWS: Unemployment is skyrocketing under Labour.

I report on this devastating story - all stemming from the choices made by Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves👇

[Andrew Griffith MP @griffitha]

The shocker in today’s @ONS numbers is the PPI figure which measures by how much business costs have gone up.

An increase of almost 9% means higher prices are coming to the high street or firms closing with the loss of jobs.

It’s the impact of Labour’s ‘April Armageddon’ of taxes, employment costs and business rate hikes.

[Andrew Griffith MP @griffitha]

A bombshell for Keir Starmer.

He’s lost his Defence Secretary and Armed Forces Minister, because he’s too weak to stand up to his own Cabinet.

It’s time for this Government to make some tough choices, cut welfare, and fund our defence.

[Andrew Griffith MP @griffitha]

The actual 'concierge' businesses are hoping for👇

[Andrew Griffith MP @griffitha]

£3,800 of extra debt for every Brit.

And you can thank Rachel Reeves for that.

[Andrew Griffith MP @griffitha]

Last night Conservatives voted against the Labour’s botched Bill to nationalise British Steel.

The Bill does nothing on energy costs, will cost taxpayers billions, and won’t keep the furnaces open.

It might not be popular, but we believe it was the right choice. Here’s why👇

[Andrew Griffith MP @griffitha]

The British people don't want to fly on planes fueled by 'blood oil' that funds Putin's killing of Ukrainians.

The Government have got this completely wrong. Lifting the sanctions is a mad and immoral decision.

Let's use our own North Sea oil and gas. Do you agree?

[Andrew Griffith MP @griffitha]

Lifting Russian sanctions is an immoral decision.

All whilst Labour refuse to use our own North Sea oil and gas resources.

The British people have backed Ukraine since the invasion. This terrible Government are now selling them out.

[Andrew Griffith MP @griffitha]

Why does Rachel Reeves hate pubs? She’s slammed them with tax rises and now two are closing every day.

I love our pubs. A Conservative government will back them, with business rates abolished for thousands.

Businesses need someone who has their back.

[Andrew Griffith MP @griffitha]

Keir Starmer’s Government is no joke.

They’ve sent taxes spiralling for the hospitality industry. Thousands will be left unemployed.

I visited a comedy club, but nobody was laughing. This needs to end.

[Andrew Griffith MP @griffitha]

Do you believe Keir Starmer?

[Andrew Griffith MP @griffitha]

Energy costs are killing businesses.

If we don't get prices down, Britain's economy will never recover. Countless will be left unemployed.

Shadow Energy Secretary Claire Coutinho and I set out our Cheap Power Plan to business group leaders - the only way to cut energy bills.

The Unfair Woke Agency is coming to a business near you.

This is the next stage of Labour’s jobs crisis 👇

[Andrew Griffith MP @griffitha]

Labour’s "Fair" Work Agency launched this week. It might look like just another quango, but don’t be fooled.

I’ve been through the documents. This is an anti-jobs regulator with Stasi-like powers of search, arrest, and surveillance.

Here's Labour's next job killer... 🧵

How do we get growth? Trade is key.

And with £200 billion of exports a year, @HeathrowAirport connects Britain to the rest of the world. That’s why its expansion can only be a good thing.

I visited them to see this aviation superpower in action.

[Gareth Davies MP @GarethDavies_MP]

Labour are pinning our energy resilience on onshore wind. That’s just hot air.

They need to urgently support investment in the North Sea oil and gas industry and reverse the damaging targeted tax rises.

[Harriett Baldwin @hbaldwin]

Did your @worcscc Councillor vote to raise your council tax by 9%?

[Andrew Griffith MP @griffitha]

Unemployment up. Growth down.

That’s Rachel Revees’ legacy. She has no plan to turn things around, meanwhile thousands of businesses are bleeding out.

Jobs are being lost, yet the Chancellor stumbles on.

[Andrew Griffith MP @griffitha]

Out of touch Labour MPs are gaslighting the public.

They actually think "getting by is costing less" and growth is up!

I don't know what planet they're living on, but I brought this one back down to reality on @GBNEWS today 👇

[Backing Business UK @BackingBizUK]

Andrew Griffith spent 25 years building businesses and creating British jobs.

David Lammy spent 25 years as a career politician.

He doesn't know a thing about business - just like every other Labour MP. They just don't understand the damage they're doing.
