Enough of this meddling! Stop blaming foreign wars for a weak pound.

It’s always something, isn’t it? First the pandemic, now some skirmish halfway across the world, and suddenly the economy’s in trouble. What’s really going on is that we’ve got a government that’s choking the life out of small businesses with regulations and taxes. Every time there’s a blip, they reach for more control, more interference, and we end up worse off. This constant need to manage and manipulate everything just creates more problems than it solves.

My approach would be to get out of the way. Slash business rates to practically nothing for the first five years of operation. Cut employer's national insurance contributions by half. Get rid of at least a third of the quangos and agencies that just generate paperwork and charge us all for the privilege. Let businesses breathe, let them invest their own money, let them take risks.
