The effect of Labour's budget on British businesses thread.

A number of retail businesses in towns and cities round here have declared it time to shut up shop.

Arsebook seems to feature daily a post from one or other company declaring they can't meet the bills.

And while some are little more than idiots expecting to make profits from London prices on Welsh streets, some are long standing companies calling it a day

But it's not easy to pin it on Reeves'.

Some of them are at the end of their rope after two years of insane energy price rises thanks to government policy on screwing business over.

Others are wrapping it up because no one has any money to spend.

Wetherspoons is announcing cutbacks in staff, and increases in prices, for example as a direct result of NI rises making it more expensive to hire staff. But over the past three years prices have risen and portions have quite seriously shrunk, to the point they are no longer the go to place they were for cheap pub grub. And given no pub makes money on beer alone, losing those in for food is a big deal.

Instructive to compare Reeves socialist policies with Trumps rampant capitalism.. over the next 4 years the UK will get poorer whilst the US gets richer.

High Street hit as 38 shops close every day....

They're about ideology.
They believe in the big state.
The public sector.

They have no regard for the private sector despite us being the ones who pay the taxes to cover the cost of the public sector and the state.

As we know the Labour Party almost always leave unemployment higher than what they found it . Talking of net zero , I see the German opposition are promising to go down the nuclear route if elected and ditch renewables.

Many countries are reeling from the net zero madness across Europe , not just us , although we are paying the highest electricity prices in the developed world.

I think the next five years are looking grim as fuck for business across the uk , under these clowns , and I wouldn't be surprised if a major recession is on the cards very soon . 

I lost my job three fucking times under the last labour Westminster and Holyrood governments . I also suspect come next April when the new ENIC kicks in , at the higher rate and lower threshold ,you are going to see either a rise in unemployment , possibly even sooner , or many people being pushed onto the GIG economy. Especially in the lower paid sectors .

I think all western governments, even left wing governments, will come to realise that for their own survival they have to curb net zero plans. The EU and the UK ran at net zero like a bull at a barn door, but there are signs that the EU are having second thoughts. A few months ago the EU Commission said 'climate policies could be slowed', this was not because the EU Commission have suddenly started listening to people, perish the thought. It's because they are worried about the rise of anti immigrant anti net zero right wing parties, and they should be worried, very worried.
