newspaper, more than 1600 company directors have chosen to wind down their businesses so far this month. that's the highest number of closures this yean highest number of closures this year, and more than double the amount for the whole of last of october. speaking earlier on gb news, bridget phillipson avoided questions around whether people running small businesses are indeed working people. >> i appreciate that it's frustrating that i can't comment on wider measures in the budget, but we haven't got long to wait, the chancellor will set out everything on wednesday. what a manifesto was clear about was that we didn't want working people to face higher taxes. we hold to that and they will not see increases in vat, in national insurance or in income tax and coming out of the budget when they receive their pay slip, they will not see higher taxes. >> prince william has extended a so—called olive branch to prince harry by publicly naming him for the first time in six years. >> my mother took me to the passage. she took harry and i both there. i must have been

that we were promised? more on that we were promised? more on that in a moment. but first, my big opinion . here's a question big opinion. here's a question for you. is it the law to be left wing now? when did socialism the most discredited political and economic model in history, suddenly win the argument? when was taxing people to oblivion agreed to be the formula for economic growth? when did it become a good idea to empower the trade unions so they can strike more often and for longer? when did borrowing billions to settle inflation busting pay disputes become prudent? economics? when did fiddling the books become ethical, as some fear that our chancellor, rachel reeves, is doing when she changes the rules around further borrowing? when did it suddenly become a good idea to make it harder for businesses to hire people with draconian employment rights and the banning of casual labour in

the banning of casual labour in the form of zero hours contracts, the freedom of which a million people enjoyed last year and which largely benefited both businesses and the individual involved. ask any student stay at home, mum or dad, or retired person that wants to top up their income . wants to top up their income. but socialism isn't about freedom or choice . it's not freedom or choice. it's not about empowering people. and thatis about empowering people. and that is the problem. when did it become a good idea to ignore the vast natural resources on our shores? coal, oil and gas in favour of unproven, flaky renewables ? when did it become a renewables? when did it become a goodidea renewables? when did it become a good idea to prioritise jailing people for saying outrageous things on facebook and twitter , things on facebook and twitter, rather than actual real criminals doing actual bad things to people like sexual assault , things to people like sexual assault, burglary and mugging at knifepoint . when did it become a knifepoint. when did it become a goodidea knifepoint. when did it become a good idea to go after the wealth creators in this country who pay

a disproportionate amount of tax? given that policies like the non—dom tax rate is now feared will cost the country? that's right. cost the country £6 billion over the next ten years in lost jobs , national years in lost jobs, national income and investment. when did socialism suddenly become a good idea? why have we forgotten the past? well, it seems that this wretched ideology is to here stay and is now embedded in a government which has a stonking majority. perhaps people have forgotten the winter of discontent with virtually every sector on strike. rubbish piling up on the streets buries. sorry bodies, i should say not buried power cuts. the norm. a three day working week and britain considering going to the international monetary fund with a begging bowl just to keep the lights on. now, before the election, when asked if she was a socialist, rachel reeves said no, i am a social democrat. to be fair to her, she showed

courage giving that answer as the belligerent party base would have expected her to wrap herself in the red flag, which gives me hope that she may, as chancellor , defend the treasury chancellor, defend the treasury from the worst excesses of leftist economic ideology . leftist economic ideology. although her claims to be a bank of england economist appeared to be in doubt with reports that, in fact, she just worked in the complaints department. well, if true, she'll be able to rekindle that particular skill in the years ahead. as one of the faces of this already unpopular administration . meanwhile, when administration. meanwhile, when sir keir starmer was asked the same question if he was a socialist , he same question if he was a socialist, he said yes, i am either because he felt he had socialist, he said yes, i am e
