Appalling.

U-turn complete. What a rollercoaster...

This utterly bleak line from the Resolution Foundation on living standards in their overnight Budget analysis. "Between now (2026-27) and the end of the Parliament (2028-29), typical incomes are forecast to fall in total by £1,050 (3 per cent)." In other words: On average we'll be getting poorer in the run-up to the next election.

“Where is my breathing space?” This is how millions of small business owners are feeling up and down the country after Burnham's failure of a budget. A Reform UK government will scrap the tax on overtime, raise the VAT threshold to £150,000 and get our economy growing.

Business owner, Paul Bowen, asked where is this so called "breathing space" from John Healey? Many other business owners are wondering the exact same thing. Well said Paul. 👏🏽

There it is. The real world.

Paul Bowen of Bowen Pies powerfully sets out how Andy Burnham has betrayed small businesses like his, the backbone of the British economy.

NEW The Government plans to use £150million of taxpayers’ money “to fund additional large sites to accommodate asylum seekers”, detail in the Treasury’s red book says. More Budget analysis now on @GBNEWS.

BREAKING The OBR suggests that successive increases in the national living wage and the employment rights act will hit jobs It says the employment right act will have a ‘negative economic impact’ and hit businesses through ‘increased uncertainty, lost flexibility and higher Labour related costs’ It says that these will ‘more than offset’ any potential increase in productivity

NEW On the basis of the numbers the Chancellor just read out in the House, the UK is set to borrow MORE in each of the next five years than previously planned

The extraordinary rise in welfare spending continues It is going to rise by £19billon this year (5.7 per cent) to £353billion, equivalent to ***11.1%*** of GDP, reaching 12.3% in 2031 It is being driven by a rise in health and mentions benefit spending

The coming crunch; The OBR says that it expects *no growth* in real earnings in 2027 and 2028 because of the impact of stealth taxes and higher prices Real household disposable income is also expected to fall in the near term

UK new minimum wage: £27,456 per year. Higher-rate tax bracket: £50,270. 1.8x difference. In 1997 there was a 5x difference. Mind boggling.

A day on the bins with the lads at Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council! I joined the crew to get stuck in and see first hand the hard work that goes into keeping our borough’s bins emptied. A big thank you to Paul (@GMB_union rep) and Wayne for having me along, showing me the ropes and keeping me on my toes! Watch the video for a look at our day👇

Only Reform UK has a real plan to bring your bills down and make work pay.

Let’s tell them again Brexit 2 won’t even be close The Rejoiners and their useful idiots in power are lying to you

MPs HECKLE me as I suggest cuts to foreign aid. Why is it so controversial to demand we put the British people first?

Reform will raise the VAT threshold to £150,000 a year and scrap tax on overtime. Small businesses and grafters are the backbone of our economy. Labour are failing them. We will back them.

A Reform UK budget would cut waste and raise the tax free allowance to £15,000. John Healey will cut the cost of gherkins.
