#Budget2024 made for some scary reading. Glad the CX has invested more in the #NHS but the elephant in the room is the social care crisis. Burdening small businesses and small care providers with a jobs tax is unfair. People will see living standards & pay take a hit. Trick?

Interviewed by BFBS Radio as they got my thoughts on the lack of a roadmap to the 2.5% GDP spend and how it risks UK's security. You can see my full thoughts here: forcesnews.com/services/tri-s…

It was a pleasure being interviewed by @TTVSouthEast earlier this week leading up to this week's budget, speaking on rebuilding our local hospitals, protecting our high streets and local businesses and ensuring we take care of children with SEND.
