Labour Treasury minister doesn't understand the world of work: Yorkshire Post Letters

Lester May, Reachview Close, Camden Town, London.

In a recent television interview, Emma Reynolds MP revealed how weird socialist thinking is to the world.

She is the Chief Secretary to the Treasury but clearly has little understanding of business or the world of work – those people who pay taxes and earn the money for this Labour government to spend on essentials or waste on silly projects and the idle.

She suggested that employers are not working people. This from someone, aged 50 next year, who has spent most of her life in the world of politics, in lobbying or in Parliament.

My electrician employs one person, sometimes two. Same with my plumber and my barber.

Labour thinks they are not working people. She is as daft as a brush.

I trust she will enjoy her last couple of years in Parliament, hopefully damaging our country as little as possible, for it is highly likely that, along with a large number of Labour MPs, the voters of Wycombe will send this woman packing.
