That calculator is dreadful. I’m 1300 worse off just due to dividend tax, never mind what council tax, electric car tax, capital expenditure tax changes, etc etc will add. The graun has me at £1080 worse off.

There is no trust. Every temptation to invest is tempered by pessimism: fewer employed, fewer to buy your services, can’t write off investment monies against tax in short term so less to invest due to looming and larger corporation taxes.

I still remember seeing this bit live and trawling through hours of footage to find it again. Ended up with a million views. The covid inquiry shut down any consideration of long term harms.

At least the 'free chinese remote intern' was more transparent. I have no idea what's genuine and what isnt at this point: and if you login to your bank you're none the wiser.... bloody chat bots and nothing in messages.

keeping on top of it is hard work. I’ve had three attempts, targting my business, in the last week.
I have ended up bollocking genuine people: my bank insists on texting and calling from a random number.

I lost faith in the Conservative party as the party of business at that point. They are the party of big business.
It seems the labour party have gone the same way: I get it, they have powerful businesspeople speaking in their ear.
But i wish it wasn't so.

I get it, we can't move, we are easy to tax. Rishi Sunak called us 'zombie businesses' when he started to unwind furlough in the August of 2020. Furlough saved jobs, not businesses. Employees accrued holiday, paid at the full rate. We had to pay employer taxes.

Good luck with your obsession with tech and AI. Sadly the point of AI is that fewer people are employed. Even those who are, tech workers, are mobile and won't pay your taxes.

Small businesses have been hammered continuously. Many have only just paid off covid loans, if these didn't bankrupt us. Our employees had furlough, we had no support on rent or costs or income. Those of us who survived that, just, may not survive this Labour Government.

More regulation, with the Employment Act, will inevitably benefit big businesses with economies of scale to fight unworthy claims. We have to pay for legal representation so for many claims it is cheaper to pay off than to fight.
More red tape ties up small business and makes it harder to compete.

'Being friendly to business' by throwing money at AI doesn't help anyone if monies and profits made are siphoned off to the US or Dubai.
I still remember being priced out of 'silicon roundabout' when my lease came up, because of these grants. Why try to pick winners and create losers?

What do you think the engine of growth is?
If it is small business, because we pay the most tax, are UK based, pay our employees well, care about the quality of product, etc etc then why have you hammered us, and why will you inevitably continue to do so?

One would hope. But I rather fear we will fight the last war, with tools we haven’t properly evaluated.

Apologies and sorry to hear about your mum.
I just don’t buy the week earlier. It needed to be before feb half term I imagine; that’s when I caught covid, skiing in Europe, as did many 1000s of others I feel sure. We just didn’t have the testing yet.

It was great that people could find community, and i don't resent people who had a great lockdown.
I just don't know how the inquiry could have reported, with certainty, that lockdown a week earlier would have minimised both covid and lockdown harms. It feels prewritten TBQWHY.

I’ve tried to stay away, tbh. Don’t want to think about it ever again.
I imagine this history will be different when our children get to write it.

That’s the point. With low prevalence due to lockdown 1, they had to move the trials to South America which slowed it down. This is all in Kate Bingham’s book ‘the long shot‘.
