The Chancellor doesn’t care. They’re not corporations.
They hope. We can’t have competition for the larger donors.
God, it’s like 1980 all over again. Before we know it we will have nearly businesses folding left right and centre, 4 million unemployed, double digit interest rates and record house repositions.
The scary difference is that the there is sod all left for the Tories to sell off to keep us afloat this time round.
N.Sea oil, the NHS, utilities, education and transport can’t be used to bolster the Tories fiscal incompetence again because they burn those bridges. Good job they can blame Covid, Monkey Pox and a hostile EU though.
Live in London and I’m starting to see this happen in real-time around me, locally. Within the past week *alone* I’ve spotted social media posts about two local independent coffee shop/cafes shutting down, and yesterday it was announced a gay bar (nearly 40 years old, one of the oldest in Europe) was shutting down. And this is just in the hospitality/entertainment sector.
It’s going to get really, really brutal.
Good. Let’s have some riots already. The UK needs to get its head out of the sand with Brexit, inflation, cost of living, Tory corruption, house prices.. the list is seemingly endless.
Yep, I run a small business and I have literally no idea how I’m staying afloat. My losses over the last two years have been horrendous and when it starts to look like it might be picking up something else crops up to kick me in the balls and make me have to try that little bit harder to find some way of paying the bills.
More help was needed to recover from Covid, it’s not been as cut and dried as them just saying it’s over and leaving us to it. Further VAT relief, a freeze on rent increases for commercial property, help for businesses that went further than just hospitality. These would have been nice to see, but anything now might just be too little too late for me unfortunately.
And so it begins. The upcoming recession is going to be fucking brutal.
They should have bribed MPs to support them like the big businesses.
It was striking to me how much the Conservative Party had given up on small/medium businesses. Right from 2010 it seems.
At the same time they no longer were working for the ‘middle-classes’ either, although it was clear the ‘middle-classes’ were unaware of this.
Because of this smirking cunt and his fannying about, and his boss’s blatant corruption, changing the ethics code, using the Met as his attack dogs, because of Priti Patel and her horrific immigration prevention schemes, because of Jacob Rees Mogg and his insistence on going back to the 1920s. Never forget that it is them bringing this country to ruin. Never forget Mhairi Black told us this was happening. I’m disgusted with this government, and I hope I live to see a better one.
It’s already happened to me. The added costs are the tolls the depression takes on you and the nhs
Building back better! Just as promised! All hail the Tories!
Just imagine, IMAGINE the mess we would be in if Corbyn was voted in! Perish the thought!
Well the Tory party has become like the republicans in the US useless corrupt and banging on bible stuff, feel good stuff for racists and gaslighting and non sense or stuff like imperial measurements or immigration…
And the government don’t care. All they’ll do is tell their pals that they can start buying up the remains of the businesses at dirtcheap prices and blame labour for it.
According to the shock theory of economy, that is to be expected after Brexit, and in fact a positive consequence. I hate to say it, but this is exactly what people voted for.
For some businesses, lower sales and profitability will be manageable, but others will fail altogether. Most EU-UK trade will suffer because the bureaucracy creates difficulties for customers and suppliers.
“The annual direct cost of new tariffs and non-tariff barriers will bearound £27 billion (£520 million per Week) for UK firms (equivalent to 1.5% GVA) and around£31billion for EU27 firms (equivalent to 0.4% GVA).
This has been happening for the past………..
Yea……………..
I’ve cut back on everything, not to survive, but just to ensure I’m putting something in savings each month. Putting barely anything into the local economy, i ate out once lin May and had 1 trip to the cinema
Bloody good job you didn’t vote for Jeremy and chose the safe pair of hands that is Johnson, phew, that was close (/s)
Gosh. Too bad UK doesn’t have a system to protect the public and businesses from the shite bucket of piss the politicians have provided for them.
Pull yourselves up by your damn yachts! :/
You know, if government waits long enough, there will be plenty of money for the Quarter of the citizens left alive after the Tories suck off the best.
As a small business owner, this rings true. Brexit screwed us, energy prices rising and rent increases from greedy landlords. My wife and I build this from a kernel of an idea to supporting our family. I’d be surprised if we’re open for the Christmas shopping boon. Sad times indeed.
I wonder how many of those businesses voted conservative and possibly Brexit because they selfishly thought it would benefit them? I’d love to see the data.
Let’s not forgot the furlong scheme that paid 76 billion out .
During the whole covid situation the government wasted billions on all sorts of things that weren’t necessary..
And 18 months of furlough was one of those unnecessary things..
Don’t worry I keep them running with my £200 shopping per week on Etsy /s
Elon Musk was pleased about this the other day.
That’s the part of Great Reset agenda, the new feudalism. People should not be allowed to run a small business and instead they should work for one of the WEF partner big corporations.
So the fact that businesses are going bust is part of the plan.

Adapt or die. The new UK slogan.
