I did a tour of the small business units on my estate this pm, & held a TRA

10 of 27 are closing next month as their bills have all increased by 400% to 700%

50 jobs lost

11 have contracts to next April, & the other 6 for 18 months

corner shop cafe closing too, 11 staff going
#EnoughlsEnough #energy #EnergyCrisis

is anyone else in my circle able to check with mixed use housing estates in their area, on how their small business units are doing please?

I *honestly* do feel as though I'm the only account here highlighting these issues

thread:
#EnoughlsEnough #energy looks like I'm not the only one worried after all!
#EnoughIsEnough #EnergyCrisis when SMEs start to fail & workers are downtrodden, the evangelical libertarian brextremists in govts will SLASH our rights & protections - remember tories are against the ECtHR & Equality Act
#HumanRights #EqualityAct #ECHR detailed thread, with feedback from the Law Society, QCs & international bodies on tory changes to our rights:
the thoughts of @NathanaelYoung
#EnoughlsEnough As I said on the 10th March we are facing societal collapse. In 2021 there were 6 million private businesses in the UK and 99.9% were SMEs with < 250 employees.
SME’s accounted for 51.9% of private sector turnover in 2020 and 53.6% of all private jobs
remember pubs are SMEs - so this torygraph article applies to all small businesses which generate £2 TRILLION of UK GDP #EnoughlsEnough

Zahawi is "deeply concerned"
Truss "no new taxes, or rationing"

cutting the NICs & no new windfall taxes, ultimately means the biggest shrinking of the state we have ever seen

think of the direct impact on Social Care & NHS Image
SMEs, already facing insurmountable exponential energy costs, are also facing Consumer spending already falling off a cliff, 10% down Image
#EnoughIsEnough #EnergyCrisis
Lord Prem Sikka, Richard Murphy & David Blanchflower have written to the BoE urging £200 BILLION of spending to avoid meltdown, just as I suggested on the 10th March, also urging nationalisation of energy (which tories will never do) Image

don't be fooled by #TuftonSt "think tanks" - it's all an effort to concentrate power & wealth in the hands of the 1% and there's real world evidence:

#EnoughIsEnough #TaxTheRich JRM's father is the root of all evil in the pursuit of where we are today with tory policies: this is the place to start to understand!

#Energy
60% of working adults work in SMEs

52% of UK GDP is generated by SMEs: £2.3 trillion

70% of SMEs need to renegotiate energy contracts in October (according to Sky News research)

"tories will help low income households with packages announced, & a bit extra"

THREAD:
#EnoughlsEnough #energy
can absolutely no one else see the issue here?

60% of working people in the UK work for SMEs

70% of SMEs are about to see their energy costs go from

10p/kw

to

£1/kw

think of the complicated, intertwined supply chains for most SMEs, raw materials etc

#EnoughIsEnough #energybills
last night the FT reported Truss will immediately invoke Article 16 causing a trade war whilst we have rampant inflation, are heading in to recession & at the moment 70% of businesses will fall off a cliff in October when they renegotiate energy bill
#EnoughIsEnough #energybills #EnergyCrisis
several quotes here from 300% increases to over 1,100%.... as I have been alerting everyone to, since the 10th March.

if govt doesn't step in immediately, the UK will have businesses failing faster & harder than they did in 2008
#EnoughIsEnough #energybills #EnergyCrisis
here's my thread from the 10th March stating businesses will fall off a cliff, nearly 6 months later STILL NO ACTION has been taken, this is INEXCUSABLE! If I knew it in March, then the govt sure as hell did!
