should resign because of course it looks like she might have misled the public, some people
0:04
are saying that. What do you think about the budget? Look, how on earth they can go after the pensions is beyond me. People have worked hard their
0:15
whole lives, paid and done the right thing and now they're getting taxed. I don't think
0:18
that's right personally. Also, it's a bit controversial, but gambling companies create
0:24
a lot of jobs in the UK, they've got a hell of a lot of jobs, and they're due to going from 21% to 40%
0:29
Now, I know gambling is hard and there's a lot of people with a lot of problems, but it does generate
0:35
a huge amount of tax in the UK that pay for the roads, that pay
0:39
for the NHS. Now, she's hit them so hard that these companies, and I know because I know friends that own them, have left
0:45
the country. They're moving their things overseas, so instead of the country getting that tax money, it's
0:51
now going to be abroad, which is, look, It's scary what's going on
0:56
It is scary. Personally, I ain't happy. You know what I mean
1:01
Do you think the Chancellor should resign, Thomas? What do you think? I think they should give me the job
1:09
I totally agree. Alex, mate, let's have it right. Let's have it right, mate, yeah
1:15
Let me say one thing, right? Why have we not got the people that make this country great in power
1:21
Why the people that run the business? Why are they not the politicians? because you know how to run a business you know how to make money you know how to put food on the table you should be making decisions that this country needs you know not people that are career politicians that don understand how the real works That my opinion mate
1:34
and I'll stand by that. Have you ever thought about standing for Parliament
1:38
Thomas, as well? Because, like you said, we want average Joes, we want people who've
1:42
worked in businesses to actually get out there and represent people. What do you see yourself? Maybe
1:46
a Reform MP, perhaps? Tory MP? Reform MP? Mate, listen, listen. Who knows
1:52
what's going to happen, yeah? I love looking at politics and always thinking what I could do
1:57
to make things better. I do do that quite a bit. I've been working since I was 15
2:01
years old. I've worked hard all my life. Even today, I've been working. I was up with
2:04
four down billions back this morning, do you know what I mean? And I'm here today. I'm back down the ideal home show. I've got a couple of stools
2:10
down there. We're non-stop. I just think people like myself would do a better job because
2:15
I know what it's like not to have the rent at the end of the month and I know what it's like when you are
2:20
in front. I know both spectrums and I just think more people with more understanding that the real world, like myself, should be in power
2:27
Do you know what I mean? You need to understand the people really better, not sort of guesswork
2:33
which is what we're getting from this Labour government, if I'll be honest with you. Thomas, if you could send a message to the Chancellor and the Prime Minister
2:40
what would you tell them? If they're watching right now, what would you say to them? Listen, just give me a ring, I'll tell you how to do it properly
2:51
Thomas Skinner, absolute pleasure to have you. Thank you so much for joining us today, talking about that fantastic app to help tradies
2:57
That app as well, yeah? That's right
