The government have already driven away the wealth creators. Not content, they wish to extend their raid on prosperity and to harm the wealth creators. This government will never learn. cityam.com/burnham-urged-to-…

UK borrowing costs have reached their highest levels since 2007. The government must reduce spending starting with welfare and incentivise investment. If not we face peril. telegraph.co.uk/business/202…

Our Advisory Board Member @TheBluetrot highlights that if the government dropped its unnecessary reset with the EU, billions could be spent instead on defence. Instead of opening up the Brexit debate again, get on with governing the country. scotsman.com/news/opinion/co…

The UK economy is forecast to grow faster than expected which is welcome news. If the government reduced taxes, reduced the size of the state, cut regulation, ended mad net-zero, and had incentive led investment plans we'd grow even faster. thetimes.com/business/econom…

By charging full on into the net-zero agenda, we are giving China dominance over UK supply chains, energy security and weakening our own resilience. Another reason why this is all bonkers. telegraph.co.uk/business/202…

Can't believe it...we agree with Tony Blair. We cannot allow vested interests like Trade Unions to prevent the expansion of AI, especially in the public sector where productivity must increase. Resistance will slow the UK even further. telegraph.co.uk/business/202…

This is what happens when governments spook the market with mad policy ideas. Rents in London have soared amid speculation that the government will aim at property taxes in the budget. These people have no idea how to run an economy. cityam.com/property-tax-unce…

Good! We do not want and do not need associate membership of the EU. We left the EU. We do not need to be part of a supranational bloc to trade and prosper. We need a tax cutting, red tape cutting government here at home. politico.eu/article/brussels…

Our Advisory Board Member, Roger Bootle says that only a serious financial crisis will make the government realise how we must reduce welfare. We cannot continue taxing the profitable part of the economy to subsidise millions not in work. telegraph.co.uk/business/202…

This is to be welcomed. But we would have a lot more investment announcements like this if we had a government that cared about growth. Cut taxes. Cut regulation. Streamline planning. Incentivise investment. It isn't difficult. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

The inflation crisis has only just begun. Figures are not likely to improve. Taxes are to high. Regulation is to high. Energy costs are to high. No serious planning reform. No real incentives for investment. That is the problem. telegraph.co.uk/business/202…

Wages in the public sector continue to rise year on year. The size of the public sector continues to rise year on year. Meanwhile, taxes, regulation, net-zero and employment law cripple the private sector- the part of the economy that pays for everything. spectator.com/article/britia…

Former Chancellor @George_Osborne is completely wrong. We have performed in line with European economies and have done better in many years. Business has adapted. We don't need Europe we need tax and regulatory cuts. telegraph.co.uk/politics/202…

Economist @LiamHalligan says that the UK is at risk of a major debt crisis but our Prime Minister is more concerned with keeping Unions and the left happy. A former Bank of England and OBR official has warned an external bailout is a "material risk." telegraph.co.uk/business/202…

Wind farms are facing accusations that a regulatory loophole is allowing developers to increase costs borne ultimately by consumers. British households have been sold a net-zero myth and businesses cannot afford it any longer. telegraph.co.uk/business/202…
