KPMG says unemployment is about to climb to a five-year high thanks to Rachel Reeves’ shiny new tax raid. But hey, maybe this is the new economic strategy: squeeze businesses until they cough up, then act shocked when jobs vanish faster than honesty in a manifesto. Who knew that taxing companies into the Stone Age wouldn’t make them hire more people? Oh right—literally everyone except the people writing the policy.
🧮 Taxing Your Way to Prosperity… Said No Economist Ever
It’s a bold move: punish productivity and call it progress. Think of it like watering a plant with vodka—sure, something will grow, but it probably won’t be what you wanted. Reeves insists this is all part of “long-term stability.” Which is true, if by stability you mean a nice, stable queue at the Job Centre.
The cruel irony? Politicians always claim “jobs, jobs, jobs,” yet their policies are more like “P45s, P45s, P45s.” You wanted growth? Too bad—you’re getting “character building” through unemployment instead. Welcome to the new economic fitness program: we’ll tax you until you’re lean, broke, and looking for work. 💪🪦
