🤦The 50p tax rate was supposed to raise £2.7bn a year. It raised £1bn. The Energy Profits Levy was forecast at £41.6bn. It raised £17.4bn. The non-dom abolition was meant to raise £34bn. It may raise nothing.
📉This is not bad luck. It is a pattern.
Politicians always say they will cut red tape. I’m building a plan to actually make it happen.
I’m hiring a Red Tape Researcher to help me trawl through Government bureaucracy and formulate a strategy to reform, mitigate or completely overturn the blockages to growth.
If you’re analytical, pro-business or have experience with research, please consider applying.
Brilliant turnout at the Cranleigh Food and Farm Festival - so much family fun but also real anxiety about the Family Farm Tax. Please think again @RachelReevesMP!

Conservative Parliamentarians led by @bhatti_saqib hand in a petition signed by 130,000 people opposing a hike in fuel duty at the Budget next week…
How is it that in this day and age, it is seen as acceptable to criticise a female political figures ability to lead based on her having a family? We need more well rounded politicians who have careers and a family life, not less! @KemiBadenoch
Internal polling in Surrey (one of the areas with highest concentration of @Conservatives members & party donors) has had @KemiBadenoch & @JamesCleverly as top choice for membership both pre & post party conference. Important MPs listen to membership #ConservativeLeadership

It takes courage & sacrifice to stand for public office. Having done it twice myself, I have the utmost respect for those who do it. Remember to vote and while we all have our political views, let’s treat each other with respect 🗳️
#PollingDay
The big ❓ for today's summit is whether Italy's far-right prime minister Giorgia Meloni will vote 🙅♀️NO🙅♀️ on the re-appointment of 🇪🇺President von der Leyen for a 2nd term.
She can't veto, but does #EUCO have the nerve to outvote a large core EU country? After all, 🇮🇹 isn't 🇬🇧.
