Unemployment in the UK is high and is set to rise.
The governments national insurance increase is a major contributor the rising unemployment.
If it becomes more expensive to employ people it wont happen.

Instead of raisin taxes further on businesses and families, how about diverting funds from welfare to defence?
Nobody opposes building a more secure Britain, but we need growth to pay for it.

Our Advisory Board member, Lord Moynihan examines the cost of the Tripple Lock.
We cannot pay ourselves more than we earn. If we want luxuries like the Tripple Lock then we need to grow the economy.

The current VAT thresholds disincentives small businesses from expanding.
We have long called for thresholds to be increased and would support such a move.

The welfare bill in the UK is completely out of control. We simply cannot afford the current model anymore.
The government must make savings. You cannot forever squeeze the productive part of the economy to pay for a growing unproductive sector.

Net-zero is the gift that keeps on giving. Not content with inflicting huge costs on business and industry, the net-zero lot are soaking up hundreds of millions of pounds of taxpayers money in quangos.
Scrap the lot.

Unemployment could hit 2million later this year as a result of sluggish growth according to forecasts.
The government can stop this happening if it incentivises business, slashes red tape and taxes, restoring confidence to business.

Our Advisory Board member @TheBluetrot says that if the next general election is a re-run of the referendum the government will be defeated.
The country does not want the old Brexit debate re-opened. It wants the government to focus on growth.

The last thing this country needs is higher taxes on businesses.
Higher business taxes have driven unemployment and killed growth.
Cut taxes to boost growth.

The former Foreign Secretary claims we suffer from being outside the Customs Union.
He is wrong. We think the trade deals the government has negotiated are good for the country. We think having an independent trade policy is good for the country.

When will the government learn. When you push up taxes you drive away investment, whether that is from institutions, or in this case, tourists.
Cut taxes Chancellor.

An example of how mad net-zero is harming British industry.
This time it is the chemical industries taking the hit. The current route to net zero is deeply flawed.
The UK will continue to lose capacity, expertise and economic value if we don't change.

We agree with the Foreign Secretary. We cannot, and more importantly we should not reverse Brexit.
Brexit was and still is a huge opportunity for the UK to strive forward.
We need government to take advantage of our Brexit freedoms.

Even the Trade Unions are now admitting that net-zero madness is killing British jobs.
Industry is being slaughtered on the alter of net-zero. We need a massive reversal on policy now.

If the Trade Secretary's comments are accurate we say well done.
He is right. Rejoining the EU will not solve any problems. What we need is tax incentives, cheap energy, cutting welfare, cutting regulation and we will grow our economy.

Cutting welfare is essential. We cannot afford to keep millions of people doing nothing.
We cannot continue to tax the wealth creators to the hilt to pay for others to do nothing.
If we are to grow the economy we must slash welfare.
