Labour's taking a wrecking ball to British economy

OUR COUNTRY is facing many problems. A stagnant economy. Runaway illegal and legal immigration. An insatiable public sector that swallows up more and more taxpayers' money every year for less.

Any sensible Prime Minister with a massive majority would set about trying to tackle these issues. Instead, Keir Starmer seems determined to make them worse.

Since taking office, he has picked battles with British businesses that were last fought in the 1970s and taken a wrecking ball to the UK economy. Unsurprisingly, the chickens are coming home to roost.

Last week, we saw over a million more people on benefits and unemployment up for the 10th month in a row on Starmer's watch. This came after we found out Chancellor Rachel Reeves has torn a £50billion black hole in the public finances.

Business leaders, both publicly and privately, are sounding the alarm but Labour isn't listening.

Unemployment going through the roof is not just a statistic, it is a national scandal. Each job lost is a person not able to make ends meet, a career down the drain or yet another person on the dole.

Britain is more than just a nation of shopkeepers. We are entrepreneurs, risk-takers and go-getters.
