More Than Half the Cabinet Have Never Had a Real Job!
Britain is a country bursting with entrepreneurial talent. Every day, millions of people risk their own money, employ staff, meet payroll, solve problems and compete in some of the toughest markets in the world. Yet the people running our country have, for the most part, never experienced any of it. More than half of Andy […]
Pimlico call the Consultants to Figure out why the Phones have Stopped Ringing!
Lately people have been telling me they are seeing a lot more WEFIX London vans about the place in London than the once common Pimlico chariots. That’s me reporting what I’m being told, and it seems to match up with something else I’m hearing through the plumbers’ grapevine that my old firm has parked up fifty […]
It’s Time the So-Called ‘Patriotic Millionaires’ Put their Money Where their Mouths Are!
A lot has been written lately about the group calling themselves the Patriotic Millionaires, particularly their letter signed by around 120 members urging Andy Burnham to introduce a 2% annual wealth tax on assets over £10 million. The way I see it If they want to hand more of their own money to the Government, […]
Leopards Can’t Change their Spots & No Matter How Hard Andy Burnham Tries to Hide His He’s Still the Leader of an Anti-Business Administration!
Today the UK got a new Prime Minister, so why are a new wave of wealth builders, the ones who stayed, just in case Starmer and Reeves turned out to be the mythical spotless leopards, getting ready to quit the country? It’s simple, they were hoodwinked once and they’re not going to risk being mugged […]
Loans and Lies: Britain’s Biggest Mis-selling Scandal Isn’t the Student Loan, It’s the University Dream
The Treasury Select Committee has delivered a devastating verdict. It says the Government mis-sold around £200 billion of student loans to more than five million young people by failing to explain that interest rates could rise and repayment thresholds could be frozen after they had signed up. If compensation follows, it would eclipse every previous […]
Andy Burnham’s Business Rates Gamble is a Busted Flush!
Every entrepreneur knows you can plan for high taxes. What you can’t plan for is politicians constantly changing the rules. That’s why Andy Burnham’s proposal to hand local politicians more control over business taxation should ring alarm bells. Level playing field For decades, businesses have operated under a national business rates system. You may not […]
FORD’S AI U-TURN PROVES WHAT WE’VE ALWAYS KNOWN AT WEFIX LONDON – PEOPLE DO PEOPLE BETTER!
Ford has just delivered a lesson that every business should take on board. After relying too heavily on artificial intelligence (AI) in parts of its quality control process, the motor giant has brought back experienced engineers because the quality simply wasn’t where it needed to be. That’s a remarkable admission from one of the world’s […]
Pimlico up for Sale as American Bosses Look to Cut Losses!
The wheels look like they’re really falling off the van at Pimlico Plumbers this week with the news that it’s going up for sale in 2028 as the American owners look to cut their losses after not increasing sales since taking over in 2021. And a little bird told me yesterday that a team of […]
Andy Burnham’s Power-grab is more like a Mafia Hit than a Political Manoeuvre
So, when Keir Starmer’s Governments piled on extra costs, increased taxes, and made it harder to employ people, it’s no wonder confidence legged it! Companies pulled the pin on investment and recruitment that’s any chance of any decent economic growth out the door. That’s not ideology, it’s how businesses react when the goalposts keep moving. […]
