Dear Jack,

The Budget was pure, perfect socialism. Increased government spending of your money by having the highest tax rates for 70 years. Government spending is now the highest since the 1970s. Growth forecasts over the medium term are the lowest for 60 years. 

The forecast growth numbers for next year already look way too optimistic. Rishi Sunak seems punch drunk on spraying your cash around in wasteful ways via civil servants, rather than let you spend it better yourself. 

This is Consocialism. I don’t believe that is what the country voted for at the last general election. 

Tell your friends and family. We are approaching a tipping point where this high tax, high spending, low growth model goes so far you cannot get it back. I don’t know where that point exactly is, but it is less than 5 years away. 

It’s urgent. Reform UK is of course now the only party proposing to cut taxes hard. The only party being honest about the cost and naivety of Boris’ net stupid energy policies. We will be campaigning hard on these issues in the coming weeks. Please keep helping us as you can. 

Meanwhile, Allister Heath in the Telegraph sums it up very well.
