00:00This morning I'm releasing analysis on business rates that's going to absolutely clobber
00:05pubs and restaurants and some small businesses up and down the country. You barely heard a word of
00:10that from the budget. It was frankly dishonest in terms of what's going on there. That's going
00:15to harm jobs. It's going to harm our high streets and economic growth. And that's what you get,
00:20to be honest. You go and tax people more. You undermine incentives to build a business. Someone
00:25builds a business and then you tax them when they try and pass it on to their children with the
00:30family business death tax. No wonder we've got an anemic economy where we found out yesterday that
00:36quarter of a million people are leaving, 100,000 of them, some of our youngest, bestest and brightest.
00:43You've got to invert all of this. If a government was serious about growth, it wouldn't be pursuing
00:47the Employment Rights Bill, the Bill for Unemployment, and it would not have absolutely
00:52done the budget that we heard about on Wednesday, which is on the side of welfare.
