Just a lad from the UK. My views are my own.




The youth unemployment rate has hit 16.2%, the highest level since 2015. It's no great surprise to anyone with even a rudimentary understanding of economics that if you price young people out of the market by hiking the taxes on them and forcing up the minimum wage, then youth unemployment will inevitably result. It's just rather sad that Rachel Reeves doesn't appear to have a rudimentary understanding of economics.

The government forecast private school numbers would drop 6% after VAT was added to fees. Now, the data from Scotland shows secondary schools registrations have fallen 15% - numbers from the rest of the UK will be similar. Far from raising money, the policy looks like it will cost the taxpayer millions. Meantime in Europe, parents get a tax break for using private schools - as they’re saving the state the cost of funding. Another poorly thought through policy.
