The Federation of Small Businesses has warned of a "lost generation" of businesses, as they grapple with inflation and rising energy bills.

But according to liz truss we as workers don't graft enough anyway.
The Great Reset
It's scary how fast this has been thrust upon us
agenda 2030
Food prices will rise dramatically this winter, due to plummeting agricultural production in the northern hemisphere, due to heat waves and drought. Buckle up, stock up.
Interesting they had a video earlier today talking about all the new processing facilities housing millions of animals for food
Mostly due to the Fertiliser inputs just not being there. 40% loss of agricultural production at the get go even before the hot dry weather as projected by the Scottish Farmers Union.
How many voted for Brexit because they where told we could run our country better from outside?
Where is the evidence of it?
LOTS
@@williamroberts7919 There is NONE!!!
Leveling up before your very eyes.
nothing to do with Brexit so try another reason?
@@TheCaretaker555 Brexit really helped the farmer , fishermen , exporters to the EU . helped everyone depending on the NHS that's why it's 30% understaffed
Everything is having a knock on effect. Surging cost of living means that people are spending less, which means that businesses suffer leading to job losses and business failures. The cycle continues. It's unsustainable and the government better get a grip before it wrecks society at large. I walked into town today after ages and was shocked to see so many shops and businesses permanently closed including those that have been around for decades.
Yeah it's got a huge snowball effect I've seen loads of shop owners and they all say the same it's the worst it's ever been seen a video on here of pet shop that mostly sold aquarium fish the bill was £250 a week that went up to £750 a week how the hell can someone cope with a bill like that
Hard life
Vote brexit, we can make our own inflation outside the EU
@@buk3695 yup
Its ok everyone, this is the so called "Levelling up" we heard so much about.
Wish these people all the best and hope they find a way to survive.
Small businesses closing means we pay higher prices, looking after national chains to feed the pockets of the head office staff.
And Sky were scaremongering with covid last year which led to this.
Lock down and furlough scheme coming back to haunt us,
Just wait. What’s coming this winter will be worse.
Nothing to do with furlough, other European nations had similar policies and yet they're seeing inflation nowhere near as grim. It's incompetence at every level of government who put personal gain ahead of the greater good.
I bet they all voted for their esteemed Tory chums in 2010 - 2015 & 2019?
And will still keenly vote for them again in the next UK general election, hopeing for that legendary Tory Government
"Jam tomorrow."
Hard to convince people to buy non essentials when they cant heat their homes. Good luck to these businesses! Times are hard.
I live in the USA I'm doing well but I still am not spending I have cut back on non-essentials I learned a long time ago I don't need more stuff
@@debbieframpton3857 absolutely
It's alright - the Tories LOVE business, so they'll save them all. (Edit: the foregoing is only true if said business has shareholders and is listed)
Its only true if said businesses are owned by Tory chums.
The Tories are part political party, part organised crime syndicate.
Economic stimulation! Give consumers money to spend !
Sorry we have to pay Ukraine
That's gonna make prices go up even further
Uncle Klaus grinning : Ja, Ja, sehr gut!
I know what will fix that, the UK should leave the largest market on the planet and put up barriers between it and UK companies....
🤦♂️
The rest of Europe us also struggling. Greetings from Germany.
@@oliveryt7168 Not as much as Britain, trade for example.
Tory Brexit Britain
That's why it better to have an online business no over heads no bills more customers
Prioritise on having food put aside for next years Holodomor in the UK. The Energy Cost Crisis will pale into insignificance as folks begin to learn to live with the freezing cold once the food starts running out, the electronic food ration cards are put in place for the politically compliant, the Bailey In's and the Machine gun posts start appearing at Petrol Garage forecourts.
As our energy bills rise am I correct in thinking the total amount of VAT we pay on our newly revised bills also rises, this provides the treasury with an extra 3.1 Billion GBP in taxes? If so how can the government justify increasing it's tax revenues on something that was out of our control but perfectly within theirs? Am I missing something? I am extremely concerned about the elderly and vulnerable on low income this winter...how will they manage? If the Government don't have a magic money tree how the hell are we supposed to have one!
Just like the petrol, the gov didn’t half the vat because it was raking in the money. And so with the food, gas electricity they get more money.
Good luck to these people
Bleak times. I wish this lady all the best. Welcome to post pandemic/brexit Britain.
Estonian inflation 23%.
Lockdown for 2 years and mass money printing by all central Banks.
@@evolassunglasses4673 we are not far behind
It has nothing to do with brexit its world wide and the elites are doing it and its goner get really bad ,welcome to are new world
Why bother with a small business anymore
99% of all business in the United States are small businesses
@thunder prince in Canada the small businesses have become unaffordable so many just close down
“Once they enter the workplace, the British are among the worst idlers in the world”
Liz Truss - Conservatives leader and the Prime Minister of Great Britain.. (well after 5th Sept anyway)
I agree with her.
Many bisinesses are sorting their 3 phase meters out to get free electric what else can some do but its not fair for one and not the other cos some can do it easier than others.I was told that energy companies are taking a blind eye to it at the moment.What can one do cos some are struggling.Garrages are even doin it.Bet this will get taken off soon but its the truth.
America : buy LNG from me lol
99% of businesses in the US are small businesses
Not true...I live in USA
@@davidkublin4446 I also do but I went to college. Over 99 percent of America's 28.7 million firms are small businesses. The vast majority (88 percent) of employer firms have fewer than 20 employees, and nearly 40 percent of all enterprises have under $100k in revenue
Wal-Mart are making more than 1% of all the retail profits
@@suzyrottencrotch5132 isn't yea filled with Walmart's and chain restaurants? I wouldn't call that a small business
Brexit is nicely working for the UK. This is just the start. England/London without Europe and the world is nothing but Isolated, Tiny, very old and sick dying in a very painful slow death. Yet, US and its tiny servant UK are still waging wars in Ukraine against Russia and elsewhere in the South including ME and Africa. The ordinary mass population in both countries are suffering worse than any country's citizen elsewhere on earth. However, they don't care as long as they are living lavishly engaging with crimes in the name of politics, companies and media at home and all over the world.

Years of falling to invest and privatisation
That woman selling handbags. Her shop will be closed before next summer.
First pandemics, then famine and then War 🇨🇮
Government policy of subsidies for useless windfarms and regulations on small businesses plus forced lockdowns and higher taxes.
Did anyone think businesses would grow???
Look at what emmergration has done to us
Well, it certainly hasn't improved our spelling.
@@RunOfTheHind ha ha ha!!
God these brexiteers are off the scale dumb aren’t they!!
And they were allowed to vote🙄
Is that emigration from Emmerdale?
Sorry lads templegate let me down
Immigration make me sick
@@darrenmclaughlin3028 mate your clueless!
Gov don’t give a hoot, business will close….just wait until the stock market crash.
The public have to pay for their Rampaging Monster Police
This is very negative
😤
It is simple
I want a new
"Super yacht"
😏
Remember those sunlit uplands promised by the Brexiteers? Absolutely none of that, we're in a far more miserable position than we were before. Things have been getting consistently worse over the last 12 years with no sign of a turnaround.
Add brexit ... stand back, pour in conservatives and marvel 🤐
Give yourself a good dutch and everything will seem much better 💧
This comment section is useless.
youll own nothing
and be happy
It's all planned fcul all small business big companies thrive
Energy bill has gone up 284%! Get fracking and nuclear started now!
Vote Tori
From tea rooms to tear oom...
These shops never made money anyway. People would rather go to big name stores than some pokey drab looking clothes shop and get ripped off buying overpriced crap.
Most big name stores are not British.
@@lolcatjunior Most what they sell isn't either. The hidden benefits of free trade.😢
maybe join the EU again 😉
And what exactly would that do ? Considering there in the same boat !! With rising inflation !! And germany on the brink with no russian gas !!! 🤔
@@stephencook4644 together we could say "what a beautiful catastrophe" 😁
@@stephencook4644 We are still in the middle of Europe and not on the brink, lol.
Love from Germany.
Btw it's "they're" and not "there". ;-)
@@minischembri9893 not on the brink in this house - & I'm definitely in Blighty!
@@stephencook4644 what's the inflation rate in Germany? 7.5% and uk? 10.1% i do wonder why would Germany who has had basically a total gas import from Russia stopped has a lower inflation rate than uk who has most of it's gas from the North sea.
Yawn…..work harder…..simple as that.
Please vote tory
Never.
After lockdown tyranny, never again.
Please don't.
Please do vote tory , they're the best at making brexiteers sweat away their money
@Brhdtn hdbfodns "fear mongering" just became real
