Congratulations to @John_Belsey and @Winstamike for being re-elected as VPβs of the Conservative National Convention to support @JulianEllacott our re-elected Chairmanπ
"Is there much point continuing this?"
@NickFerrariLBC despairs at treasury minister Emma Reynolds' inability to answer basic questions on Labour's new infrastructure project.
It's an instant LBC classic...
Yesterday I asked the Government Minister about growth and with accused of talking down the British economy. Today we saw the April figures for negative growth (aka contraction). Labour is bringing down the British economy because they donβt understand business!
Today I asked about the cost to the taxpayer of the 26 new Armβs Length Bodies that Government is in process of setting up.
Government spends Taxpayers money & we need thorough scrutiny. https://t.co/euI33YE8i7
I asked the Government when they intend to return to 0.7% of GDP spent on International Aid.
See screenshots - I think the answer equates to βno time soonβ
Remember this? Watch out for more tax increases likely to come!
Rachel Reeves spent the entire election telling us that she wouldnβt raise national insurance.
Now, sheβs saying something very differentβ¦
Kemi is right. The world is changing, and we need to change to meet it.
If we carry on doing the same things as before, our adversaries stand to gain, and we stand to lose.
So we need to things differently π
Small businesses won't grow if the economy is flat and they're being taxed to the hilt.
It's basic economics. Why don't Rachel Reeves and Keir Starmer get it?
Businesses have been at the sharp end of Keir Starmer's tax bombshell, landing them with increased National Insurance AND business rates.
How is Britain supposed to grow and prosper when businesses have to give so much of their hard-earned cash to Rachel Reeves?
Inflation continues to rise under Keir Starmer's Labour government.
Yet again it's the British people who will pay for Labour's mismanagement of our economy.
On this day 50 years ago, Margaret Thatcher was elected Leader of the Conserservative Party.
The first big milestone on her journey to putting the Great back in Great Britain π¬π§
BREAKING: The Bank of England has just published its assessment of Labourβs budget, and itβs not good news.
Growth halved.
Unemployment up.
Inflation increasing to 3.7%
Working people will suffer as a result. Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves need to get a grip.
