Gerrards Cross Conservatives

Rachel Reeves must live on a different planet! 🪐 But she sums up Labour’s attitude – tax the ‘bad’ guys. Whether that’s employers, landlords, private schools or someone else they’ve decided isn’t taxed enough. Because so few of them have ever worked in the private sector, they simply don’t understand the consequences. Fewer jobs. Higher rents. Schools closing down. Rachel Reeves’ Jobs Tax has crushed our employment market. Vacancies have dropped to their lowest level in 12 years outside the pandemic. There are 176,000 fewer jobs available than when Rachel Reeves entered the Treasury. That is what happens when you attack employers, tax jobs and increase red tape. Instead of getting a grip and scrapping some of Rachel Reeves’ terrible decisions in his Budget, John Healey has doubled down. He is making exactly the same mistakes she did, taking the tax burden to a record high. We Conservatives won’t be making the same mistakes. I’ll be a tax-cutting Chancellor, because you can NEVER tax and spend your way to prosperity.

Prices up. Energy bills up. Mortgages up. The country’s tax burden and borrowing at record highs. I love a good gherkin, but the government’s response is not equal to the scale of the challenges.

John Healey will be a total hypocrite if he fails to properly fund defence in the Budget. No more excuses. If he fails, he should resign.
