Business magnate Duncan Bannatyne has actually asserted the UK remains in “a mess with some terrible things happening”.
The previous Dragons’ Den celebrity’s been talking with LBC simply over 2 months on from Sir Keir Starmer winning the secrets to Number 10.
In a varied meeting, the 75-year-old – whose profile consists of greater than 100 gym, health spas, and resorts – mentioned his issues for services and individuals throughout the nation.
He claimed: “The UK is in a mess because we’ve got two and a half or three billion pounds of debt now. I think it (the Prime Minister’s warnings of things getting worse before they get better) worries me a bit in terms of business. But I think we’ll survive it, and most companies will that are funded well, and I’ve got a good business.
“I think employment levels will stay pretty steady too but people will pay a lot of tax. People will have to suffer in different ways. Whether it’s inheritance tax or capital gains tax, there’s no doubt about it”.

Mr Bannatyne formerly mentioned his assistance for leaving the European Union before the 2016 mandate and took place to elect Brexit.
But he informed LBC he would certainly enjoy to see Sir Keir Starmer renegotiate a far better offer.
“He might well do it. Boris Johnson wasn’t very good on the detail, And I think Keir Starmer’s quite a stickler to that. So I think he might get a better deal. That would be really good.”
Asked concerning his ideas on the SNP Government in Scotland, where he matured, Mr Bannatyne highlighted comparable problems he thinks both Holyrood and Westminster are dealing with.
“Scotland is in the same turmoil as England in that it keeps going through different leaders and different parties, and no one seems to be able to bring the country together. The country is very split.
“And there’s a group of people who just want to fight and protest and they might take up 5 or 10 per cent of the country, but when the rest of the country is split in the middle they have the balance.
“They make the country worse. So there’s just some terrible things happening, but I don’t know what the answer is.”
The Health club owner also discussed his views on protecting women’s spaces, claiming “they are being overtaken by men,” and his thoughts on Britain’s overcrowded prisons, believing “more need to be built” but that we should also “look for a better way of bringing people back into society”.
