There are certain things a Government just can’t spin.
We’ve seen the outrageous way in which Labour have allowed illegal immigration to spiral even more out of control - whilst rewarding the French fishing industry with an EU surrender deal.
This utter chaos is costing taxpayers a fortune.
When it comes to the economy, the outlook is ugly.
Chancellor Rachel Reeves will deliver her Spending Review later today.
Thus far her plans have massively harmed business, workers and our country. That can’t really be denied.
Our country has lost close to 300,000 jobs since the Reeves tax-hiking Budget.
Employment in our country has fallen by the highest amount in five years.
Wage growth is now stalling beyond what was forecast.
As the Office for National Statistics has laid out this week:
“Estimates for payrolled employees in the UK decreased by 55,000 (0.2%) between March and April 2025 and fell by 115,000 (0.4%) between April 2024 and April 2025.
“When looking at February to April 2025, the period comparable with our Labour Force Survey (LFS) estimates, payrolled employees fell by 78,000 (0.3%) over the quarter and fell by 51,000 (0.2%) over the year.
“The early estimate of payrolled employees for May 2025 decreased by 109,000 (0.4%) on the month and decreased by 274,000 (0.9%) on the year to 30.2 million.”
Sadly, this shouldn’t come as a surprise.
When Governments make it more expensive to employ workers and when the tax burden continues to rise, business and working people get hammered.
We’re now seeing Keir Starmer’s Labour Government see a colossal drop in support - even amongst Labour’s own members.
There is even talk of Starmer facing a leadership challenge next year if he can’t turn it around.
Here’s what is really going on.
