Instead of nannying wannabe entrepreneurs at taxpayers expense, why not just make the system easier for them to run a small business?

Exclusive: Benefit claimants will be given advice on how to set up their own businesses, turning side hustles into full-time work. A pilot scheme starting next year will give young entrepreneurs advice on setting up a business bank account, registering for VAT and putting together a business plan Pat McFadden tells @Telegraph that young people want to “do their own thing” and that new businesses are one way of tackling the NEETs crisis. telegraph.co.uk/politics/202…

‘Side hustles’ can help cut the benefits bill, says McFadden

This in today’s @FT from someone who was an adviser to Andy Burnham is quite the comment:

We are living beyond our means, passing on an ever-growing mountain of debt to the next generation. It must change. We Conservatives will be honest, cut welfare and wasteful spending to get our country back on track.

The Treasury must be wary of giving us another flawed ‘Project Fear’ in reverse. It’s credibility will be on the line. Cheaper energy would do far more for the UK economy than another decade of debating closer links to the low-growth EU.

🚨 Labour are determined to destroy the millions of family businesses across the UK. Most are small businesses that, like farms, are already being crushed. As Chancellor, I would back our family businesses. We Conservatives will scrap Labour’s Family Business Death Tax.

Our country’s fiscal situation is in a perilous state, and our debt trajectory shows no meaningful sign of improving. The sooner we recognise this, the better. This is the key test for the Chancellor's upcoming Budget. andrewgriffithmp.substack.co…

The unintended consequences of this are mind numbingly obvious. Family firms will under invest in order to save for future tax bills. Or they'll get sold off rather than passed on. Long-term investment, skills and jobs evaporate. Does Healey know how prosperity is generated?

Taxing banks is taxing growth - which is why Healey needs to avoid doubling down on one of Britain's biggest post-crash errors. Me for @thetimes, making myself as popular as ever... thetimes.com/comment/columni…

What do small businesses need to see from the next Budget? @rcolvile and @OpiniumResearch have the answers 👇
Robert Colvile@rcolvileOct 17
John Healey reportedly wants to help small businesses at the Budget. New polling by @OpiniumResearch for @CPSThinkTank shows they definitely need it! Opinium polled 500 SMEs bosses across the UK. Overwhelmingly, they felt govt wasn't on their side. But help do they need? (1/?)

There are few problems more important than low economic growth. Beyond any other metric, economic growth determines job opportunities, salaries, living standards, and poverty levels.

Two weeks ago I made tax simplification a priority for every Treasury Minister in the next Conservative government. I am delighted to see the leading body for accountants @ICAEW now commit to an independent commission on precisely this.

Labour really don't get it. Their answer to everything is to raise taxes. Is it any wonder people and businesses are going in the opposite direction?

Labour’s war on motorists continues... Their fuel duty hike is set to cost the average two-car household £156! Madness. Burnham’s promise to help people with the cost of living is nothing but TikTok vibes.

Are they serious?! We have record-high borrowing costs. Fuel prices are through the roof, taxpayers are fleeing Britain, and we have a youth unemployment crisis. Meanwhile, the Chancellor is pretending to be an influencer…

Tax consultancy is mostly a deadweight loss. Our bright tax advisors should be freed to create more value elsewhere. Our tax system should be simple enough that - aside from multinationals - nobody needs one.
