This Rachel Reeves Budget has absolutely done my head in. It’s like they have sat down in a room and said “How can we make life harder for normal, hard working people?” And then ticked every box.

Freezing income tax and NI thresholds? That’s basically a stealth tax on grafters. You work harder, get a tiny pay rise, and then government grabs it before it even hits ya bank. Then she whacks businesses right in the bollex by gutting the pension salary sacrifice benefit, so companies have to cough up more just to offer staff a basic pension. Punishing you for trying to do the right thing.

They really want people to not work and stay indoors on the system. It’s madness.

The people actually trying to build something…. Like run a cafe, a market stall, a gym, a shop, a small manufacturing firms a builder, a plumber, the black cab drivers and so many more hard working people are being squeezed from every angle. Higher wages, higher taxes, more pension costs, more rules, more pressure… and less support. We should be making it more attractive for businesses. Not scaring them off to move their money abroad.

If Labour actually cared and actually wanted this country to thrive and do well again they would Cut taxes so hardworking people keep more of their own money and support small businesses properly. We gotta make Britain attractive again to invest in. Give stability, Small businesses are the backbone of this country. They’re the people up at the crack of dawn keeping this country going. Making jobs for people. Supporting local economies. Not sitting back waiting for a handout. Why do we get punished to cover the cost of all these poxy handouts!!

It’s about time someone called it all out. In fact that’s just what I’m gonna do. When the small businesses dry up and stop paying their taxes and start losing money. The country will fall apart. Some people don’t realise how important they are!

Bosh❤️

Let me get this straight, someone on ave. salary £35k a year, WORKING, will now be £1,400 worse off after the budget 

BUT someone with 5 kids on benefits NOT working will be £10,000 better off

This is becoming a disgrace. Rewarded for not working, PUNISHED for working

If you missed it. This is Kemi Badenoch's response to Rachel Reeves' disaster budget *in full*.

I've never seen anything like it. Kemi tears her to shreds.

This is absolutely brutal.
Well worth a watch 🔥

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

I sit in Parliament listening to these ministers, and it’s all just so depressing - the vast majority of them have never run a business, and it SHOWS. You would not believe how bad it is.

They think ‘work’ means turning up to an office between 9 and 5, answering a few emails, and going home at the end of the day. Nice lunch break, few coffees away from the desk, probably a smoking break or several. It doesn’t - not for the millions of men and women who actually create the wealth that funds the state.

Running a small business isn’t a job. It’s a way of life. It is life. It’s 24/7/365. It’s relentless. You are the accountant, HR department, compliance officer, cleaner, marketer, and customer service team - all in one. There’s no sick pay, no safety net, and no taxpayer-funded pension waiting for you.

Holiday? Good luck. If you do manage to get away, it’s checking the phone all day, every day. Wife/husband obviously getting pissed off. We’ve all been there...

It’s all on you. Every invoice chased, every tax deadline met, every bit of red tape navigated is on you. And if you make one mistake, one error, one small slip-up, the state comes after you - in a relentlessly efficient manner that is never afforded to us when we ask questions of it.

Most MPs have no idea what that feels like. They just don’t. We’re going to see more of this in the budget I’m sure. More hurt. More pain. More tax. They don’t get it.

They don’t understand that when a small business owner gets hit with another tax, it’s not absorbed by a ‘budget’ - it’s taken straight out of their family’s pocket.

There is no ‘deficit’ in the business world - that’s called going bust.

And they certainly don’t understand what real risk looks like. Politicians can vote through a policy on Monday and forget it by Tuesday - a small business owner lives with the consequences of that policy for years, decades. The MP monthly salary is safe. It always has been. In the public sector before, and in the public sector after - if not that, some charity/NGO funded entirely by the public sector.

GET A REAL JOB.

If MPs actually spent a week running a small firm - paying suppliers, tackling VAT, navigating health and safety law, sorting out HR issues, chasing clients for payment, trying to expand while staying compliant with everything from GDPR to local planning regulations - they’d legislate very differently. I can promise you that.

They’d realise that most of Britain’s problems could be solved by the state doing less, not more.

Cutting tax. Simplifying regulation. Slashing back the HRification of the country. Trusting people who actually produce things to get on with it.

Instead, we have a political class that talks endlessly about ‘growth’ while brutally punishing the only people capable of delivering it - especially going after the family businesses/farms, which is a particularly spiteful policy decision.

Small business owners are people who work harder than almost anyone in Parliament could imagine - and who are treated worse for it.

Britain’s small businesses don’t succeed because of politicians, they survive in spite of them.

We already have digital IDs to ensure migrants have the right to work here.

Any foreign employee needs to get a share code on their E-Visa account and give it to the employer to check on a system.

If an employer doesn’t get a share code, they’re breaking the law.

We don’t need digital ID. What’s the real reason behind Starmer’s push for digital ID?

Crikey. The deputy prime minister of the UK has admitted she doesn’t understand how tax works. I wonder what else she doesn’t understand.
