Two-tier knee-taking.

Every measure you list involves spending wealth.
You don’t list one measure that creates wealth.
And if you don’t create wealth you will soon run out of it to spend, which is already happening (hence all your extra taxes and borrowing).

26.4k a year for minimum wage 40 hours a week. Teaching salary is 30k a year to start with. So you’re telling me I have to go to university for 4 years to then start off on a salary 3.6k more than someone who works at Tesco?

That makes sense…

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

Reeves, Starmer, Rayner, Reynolds - all creatures of the public sector. Never run a business, couldn’t run a business. I just get so frustrated. They do not understand the pressure of it - I wouldn’t trust any of them with a lemonade stand. So when they throw all of these extra taxes on small business owners, they simply do not understand what they are doing.

Extra national insurance for employers? Oh, that’ll be fine. Reducing the threshold? Not a problem, employers can pay. Crack down on dividends? Who cares, that’s one for the owners.

It’s so easy to say when you’ve got a comfortable salary, funded by the taxpayer. Politicians and their bureaucrats fear nothing. Civil servants never get sacked, they’re there for life.

Running a business in 2025 Britain is bloody difficult. Really, really bloody difficult.

I talk to people every day who are struggling. The stress of it is quite something. Constantly checking your emails, all weekend and on holiday. The spouse is annoyed because you can’t switch off. It is constant. The stress never ends. There’s no safety net, there’s no back up. Either you succeed, or fail.

There is so much regulation and red tape - you can’t even sack anyone. So what do business owners do? They don’t hire anyone. Why take the risk? It’s just not worth it.

So Government then cracks down with IR35, making it impossible for many to take on these contracts. It is brutal. It is relentless.

Worst of all? It all comes from people who DO NOT understand what they are doing.

I sit there in Westminster, listening to these gnomes drone on about the economy. You’d get more business sense out of a blindfolded toddler. At least they understand incentives.

I find it all just so frustrating, I can’t even tell you.

The answer is to radically slash tax - corporation, income, dividends. Take a Milei chainsaw to regulation. Be brutal. Tear it all down. A red tape bonfire visible from space.

To the brave men and women who run their own business, you have my full respect.

Keep going. It will get better.

Please know that there is at least one MP on your side.
