    The economy hasn’t grown for 14 years partly because of Brexit and 14 years of austerity

    Not just small or large businesses Steve, even charities are affected, if they go it will affect many more needy people, seeing as charities do what the government should be doing!

      @@DailyChatWithSteve And this attitude is half the problem...and I speak as a charity trustee. Over the last 50 years we have seen an unaffordable growth in the Welfare State (£450 billion a year now on pensions and social security...far outstripping any other expenditure). We've ended with entitlement...even OAPs I know who do not need the fuel allowance (winter in Spain) moaning about it being stopped, People need to take more responsibility for themselves and their families...with the Welfare Sate and charities being there for those who fall through the net.

    I don't think you could be more wrong. We've had 14 years of negligible growth...indeed, going backwards given the record level of borrowing under the the Tories. In the meantime we've seen a public sector collapse, striking doctors, broke Councils (even Tory ones) and the sheer stupidity of Brexit (so far cost the UK in excess of £100 billion). Any Chancellor of any party would need to raise money..and this can only be done through either more borrowing or taxing businesses and/or individuals. They can, of course, cut back on expenditure. What we've seen since the 50s is a massive growth in the Welfare State |(£100 billion a year for pensions and now £350 billion for social security provisions). What happed when Reeves sensibly stops giving taxpayers money to pensioner who don't need it but targets it on those who do...a public outcry. Same with farmers..why on earth should asset rich farmers get away with not paying inheritance tax the rest of us pay (although we pay 40% on over £325,000, not 20% on over £1m and given 10 years to pay). Too many (thick) people are being taken in by richly funded right wing propaganda. Labour has been in office just 6 months during which the economy has been primarily affected by overseas factors..it's going to take years to turn it around but at least Reeves has made a sensible start.

    I would love to see the back of Rachel Reeves though if there is a cabinet reshuffle, we could end up with someone like Ed Milliband, David Lammy or Angela Rayner as Chancellor. It doesn't seem that Free Gear Kier has much faith in Rachel from Accounts as he's written to various regulatory bodies asking for ideas on how to get the economy growing I assume because Reeves doesn't have a clue.
