@leonburton @patmcfaddenmp @fsb_policy @UKHofficial When has the @fsb_policy ever done anything significantly helpful during the last 6years of hell ? If Govt won’t listen but just want to play with side issues we will just continue to see more businesses close and much higher unemployment ! We need a VAT cut and we need it now !

@Keir_Starmer YOU are demolishing the opportunities for THOUSANDS of young people by Taxing to Death the Hospitality businesses that generate so many jobs ! YOU are letting them all down ! And subsidies to Employ is not an answer to the anti jobs tax damage @RachelReevesMP has created @GBNews

Last year, the future of British Steel was on the line. Scunthorpe’s steel furnaces were hours away from shutting down. I couldn’t let thousands of people lose their jobs. So we saved British Steel. Time and again, people want to write off Britain’s workers. The Tories did it again and again. My Labour government will never leave workers behind. We’re investing in British steelmaking across our country – so we can make more of our own steel here at home.

Superb…

@UKHospKate So Cut VAT Now ! Campaign hard for it !

Latest statistics show a flat jobs market reflecting additional costs and risks of employment - unemployment rate remains at 5.2% with youth unemployment close to 15%. Wage growth slowing. This should give Bank of England pause for thought - we need action to get growth moving

What is the f***ing point of #PMQs ? I’m sick of this, I’m sick of our Prime Minister dodging EVERY question. We do not live in a democracy under these charlatans.

This is quite possibly the worst PMQs I have ever seen. Keir Starmer REFUSES answer a single question about Peter Mandelson and blatantly keeps changing the subject. This man has no place being Prime Minister. He should be in prison. It's SO BAD I had to post the whole thing.

This should be compulsory viewing for Labour MPs. Their plans will leave us more reliant on dirtier imports of gas. Less tax, fewer jobs, higher emissions. All because of Ed Miliband’s nutty ideology.

🚨And there you have it. Sly News are finally GETTING IT! If Labour actually cared about reducing carbon emissions and making us less dependent on imports from Qatar they would do *MORE* drilling in the North Sea. @Ed_Miliband's entire Net Zero argument DESTROYED in 2 minutes

@RicHolden @ecvys Come and meet me at Nailcote Hall and learn how @HS2ltd has been ruining job opportunities for young people while throttling my business ! As Shadow Secretary of Transport I need your support alongside my MP @bhatti_saqib ?

I met with the fantastic Rachel who runs @ecvys which helps to drive the voluntary youth sector across Essex, especially here in #BasildonAndBillericay

120,000 job losses in Hospitality alone since the N.I increase. Vast majority are young people who had a weekend job to help support through college or Uni.

@Keir_Starmer How can you keep @Ed_Miliband in a job when he is this crazy ? @Iromg @GBNEWS

Torsten Bell wants control of our pensions. We must stop him telegraph.co.uk/money/pensions…

As Ed tries to hide responses to his crazy actions perhaps the Media can expose how he tries to minimise honest exposure of his stupidity ? @bbclaurak @BethRigby @EssexPR @SophyRidgeSky @afneil @piersmorgan @NickFerrariLBC @iromg @KDeller138 @Itvnews @SkyNews @GBNews

@KemiBadenoch @Nigel_Farage @RupertLowe10 When will you all get the Media support to ensure the rapid departure of the Madman in charge of Energy & the destruction of UK businesses @Ed_Miliband ? @piersmorgan @NickFerrariLBC @BethRigby @iromg @GBNEWS @BBCNews @itvnews @SkyNews

@patmcfaddenmp Unemployment is 24% UP on what it was when you became the Hope less Government for the young people of this Country & everyone else ! @iromg

Employment up on the year. Unemployment rate unchanged. Continued long term challenge of youth unemployment. Labour plan to help with £3k employer hiring bonus and £2k SME apprenticeship bonus. FSB describe our plan as "game changer" and "decisive move forward".

Not only is @patmcfaddenmp being misleading with his post, he cites the @fsb_policy as describing his sticking plaster policy as a “game changer”. Time needs to be called on these deluded Westminster buddy clubs like @fsb_policy & @UKHofficial who continue to green light business destroying Governments.

@MickKill It is a TOTAL joke !! We need a VAT Cut now in line with Europe - nothing less will allow our Industry 2survive & thrive in future and generate jobs especially 4young people ! @EssexPR @andyjlennox @Sacha_Lord @allen_m_simpson @iromg @NickFerrariLBC @piersmorgan @Caterertweets

Who else is fed up with the constant pandering, small, marginalised measures being released by Government, designed to appease an industry that is fundamentally struggling? Business rates reform, 15% relief, tweaks to methodology… all on what is clearly a longstanding, structural issue. It feels like costs and taxes were increased by £1, only to hand back 15p and expect gratitude.This isn’t reform. It’s papering over cracks. We hear about “support” for 500 hospitality businesses to cut energy bills, yet there are nearly 40,000 pubs alone. The scale simply doesn’t match the reality. We see the investment in youth re-employment schemes, when the it is clear that the increases in employer NIC contributions had already driven thousands out of work due to business affordability. At the same time, we’re defunding security apprenticeships, exactly when we should be ramping up recruitment in preparation for Martyn’s Law. Where is the joined-up thinking? And still, some voices are saying “take the win”, celebrate the small victories. But this complicit approach only enables the status quo. It gives Government permission to carry on without addressing the real issues. Costs will continue to rise. Businesses will continue to struggle. This “war” on viability doesn’t stop with half-measures. We need bold, decisive intervention. We need a unified voice with clear, strategic demands. We are a soft power industry, one that drives culture, community, and economic value. Rant over… but the question remains: will anything change? That’s down to all of us. I know there are people who will continue to fight, but we also need those who simply nod along and accept these measures to stop and reflect on the impact they’re having. Because that complicit action only makes it easier for Government to avoid addressing the root of the problem.

A VAT cut is the quickest way to reduce business costs and generate growth everywhere. Thank you @wendychambLD for calling for an emergency VAT cut for hospitality. Government must reduce the cost of doing business to alleviate the cost of living crisis.
