@mhewson_MCH We’re ruled by pillocks!

[Ian Piper @igpiper55]

@mhewson_MCH Let’s bloody hope this is true!

[Ian Piper @igpiper55]

@FOBRacing @Fairyhouse Best of luck 🤞

[Ian Piper @igpiper55]

@FrankycrunchBry Nope

[Ian Piper @igpiper55]

@Ricky_C90 Ok take your point. Or 3 precisely 😂

[Ian Piper @igpiper55]

@CrossCountryUK Why only put 4 coaches on the 13:27 out of Exeter to Leeds? Do you not know the expected load? The reservation system isn’t working and people are stood in the aisles. What a way to run a service!

@SYPolFed Why revisit failure?

[Ian Piper @igpiper55]

@ClerkDoncaster @arenaracingco @SkySportsRacing @DoncasterRaces So just under the minimum wage then for all that responsibility 🤔

Labour: “Growing the Economy”

We’re told there are too many young people who are so-called NEETs.
So what is Labour’s solution?

You guessed it, another consultation.

Meanwhile, business (over a million of which employ fewer than 10 people) is told, according to Mr Milburn (speaking on @NickFerrariLBC yesterday), that this is the employer’s responsibility.

So before Mr Milburn starts his consultation, let me remind him what businesses already do.

Taxes collected or paid
•Corporation tax
•PAYE
•Employer National Insurance
•VAT (collected on behalf of the state)
•Business rates
•Fuel duty
•Vehicle excise duty (road fund licence)
•Apprenticeship Levy
•Insurance Premium Tax
•Climate Change Levy

Employment costs (set by the state)
•Wages
•Workplace pensions (auto-enrolment)
•Holiday pay
•Sick pay
•Statutory maternity, paternity and adoption pay
•Statutory redundancy pay
•Employer’s liability insurance

Operational costs
•Rent
•Electricity
•Gas
•Van insurance
•Building insurance
•Parking charges
•Road tolls
•Clean Air Zone / congestion charges
•Per-mile charges

Regulation, compliance and licences
•Health & safety compliance
•First aid training
•Waste carrier licence
•Black bin, green bin and food waste bin charges
•Planning and licensing fees
•Payments to multiple registered bodies
•Contracts, audits and compliance costs
•Mandatory HMRC systems and software (RTI, Making Tax Digital)

(The problem is that those in charge assume every business is Amazon.
It isn’t.Most businesses are small, local firms operating on tight margins, not global corporations with armies of lawyers and accountants).

And all of this is before a penny of profit is made.

Yet we’re still told business must “do its bit”.

Mr Milburn, you could save yourself a job and simply tell Mr McFadden this:
if businesses weren’t taxed and burdened to death, they might actually be able to take a young person on.

Instead, Labour assumes that Betty’s Baps, Colin’s Car Parts, or the landlord of the Dog and Duck can just keep paying.

They can’t.
They won’t.
They’ll go bust.

That is not growth.
That is cold, hard fact.

And sadly, it shows just how inept they are, as yesterday’s Employment Rights Bill will only make this worse.
