🇬🇧 UK'S LABOUR POLICIES: MAXIMUM CHAOS, MINIMUM JOBS Labour just hit businesses with a £25 billion tax smackdown—and now hiring plans are at record lows. Chancellor Rachel Reeves hiked employer National Insurance and the minimum wage to £12.21, while Angela Rayner’s pushing laws that make firing harder and sick pay pricier. Retailers? Only 1 in 10 are hiring. Across the board? 1 in 4 might start laying people off. Bosses say they can’t plan anything while they’re stuck “firefighting.” Spoiler: no one’s winning that battle.

🇬🇧LABOUR’S SCHOOL TAX BACKFIRE: 100 CLOSURES COMING For months, ministers downplayed warnings that private schools would shut down under Labour’s tax plan. Now, Treasury Minister Torsten Bell has finally admitted it: about 100 schools are expected to close. A dozen have already folded or announced closures since January. The Independent Schools Council says the government, including Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson, is still sugarcoating the damage. Labour claims the tax will fund more state school teachers, but critics say it’ll leave 40,000 kids scrambling for places and 11,000 staff out of work. Source: Daily Mail
