Undoubtedly, #GE2019 was a shock. To an extent, Cummings & co seemed to have found a magic formula (and a slogan). But look how short lived it was. The last couple of days have been a case study of how out of touch the @Conservatives are in reality. Three big signs: (1/5)
1. The idea that you could, as the Government, advise people to avoid pubs etc, whilst pulling the rug from under the owners. The sheer arrogance to think that small business people would be ok with being abandoned & fobbed off with the most woeful #Budget2020 measures. (2/5)
2. Ignoring completely the fact that small businesses are not just one-person operations, as if it was the Apprentice, but collectively the employers of millions. Whole Government response to #Corvid19uk ignored the workers, because to the @Conservatives, they hardly exist. (3/5)
3. The strategy of offering short term loans at “attractive rates”, oblivious to the fact that many small businesses have been suffering for years, on their knees already due to a depressed economy & Brexit uncertainty. More fudging, when the support should be unequivocal. (4/5)
The truth is, @BorisJohnson & the Tories have shown their true colours. No real interest in workers; no commitment to small business. Look after your big business pals & make sure that the economy still works for the elite, no matter what the consequences are for the rest. (5/5)
