So that’s Page 21 of the Labour Election Manifesto Ripped up and Set on Fire!
This morning’s chilling announcement by the Chancellor has put the entire population of the UK workers, pensioners, wealth generators and entrepreneurs on notice that she is coming for their cash. People are already struggling and what we don’t need is Rachel Reeves’ inept socialist vision to clamp down on an economy that is practically flatlining. […]
4-Day Week? 4-Day Fantasy!
I’ll say it straight: young entrepreneurs can’t afford to work four days a week—so why on earth would anyone else think they can? When I started out, I was up before sunrise, home after dark, seven days a week if needed. That’s what it takes to build something from nothing. But now, we’ve got this […]
The Cowboys Are Back in Town – And Labour’s Letting Them Ride Free
For more than 50 years, I’ve been banging the drum for professionalism in the plumbing and building trades. I’ve fought tooth and nail to drag this industry out of the backstreets and into the modern world, where tradesmen are trained, qualified, accountable, and proud of their craft. But I’ll tell you what, the cowboys are […]
Employment Rights Bill: A Kick in the Teeth for British Business
Well, I’ll be straight with you, this new Employment Rights Bill is a catastrophe in the waiting. And it’s a crying shame it didn’t fall with its biggest cheerleader, Angela Rayner. This bill is exactly the sort of anti-business nonsense that shows once again that Labour doesn’t get how business actually works. Bosses Vilified Even […]
It’s Time to Clean Up the Building Industry – One Register, One Standard
When I started out as a young plumber with a second-hand van and a bag of tools, there was one thing that mattered more than anything else, trust. If a customer lets you through their front door, they’re putting their home, their money, and their safety in your hands. That’s why I’ve always said if […]
Reeves is Desperate – And if Evidence is what You Need Take a Look at all the Tax-Hike Kites She’s Flying!
If you’ve read the papers over the last few weeks you’ll know that the Chancellors putting out ‘Wanted Posters’ for anyone she thinks is ‘wealthy’ and just like the Wild West she doesn’t care if you’re Dead or Alive, just as long as you have the precious cash she craves. The number of ways Rachel […]
Time to Jail the Wage Thieves
Wage Scandal I’ll tell you what, I’m fuming. The Department for Business and Trade has just named 491 companies that underpaid their workers. Between them they’ve been hit with a staggering £10.3 million in fines. That’s not a typo, ten-point-three million quid! Around 42,000 workers were short-changed, and those firms are now being forced to […]

Who’d have Thought when I Left School at Age 15 I’d One Day be an Award-Winning Columnist at an Award-Winning Newspaper!!
THERE’S not much that brings me back to the UK these days. Visiting family is the main exception to the rule, but my son Scott and grandson Ashley run the family business, WEFIX, and most media work I can do from my villa in Spain. There is one other thing that pulls me back to […]
I Never Planned a Return to the Plumbing Business, but Watching my Legacy go down the Drain I had no Choice!
When I sold my old business, which I built up over more than 40 years, the plan was to retire from the business I’d been part of since the late 1960s when I started my apprenticeship. I always intended to stay in business, but a return to plumbing game was not in my plans. But […]
