Labour has proved yet again that it hates employers/business.

Don't be surprised when your local pubs, restaurants, hairdressers etc close up shop.
Don't be surprised if your employer can't fund your next payrise, because their NI bill has increased. Workers will indirectly pay for these increases; employers don't have magic money trees.
I work for an employer that has charitable status. We work to improve the lives of others but now have to look at reducing headcount. Employers are not all fat cats driving Mercs.
BTW, I hate the Tories. This post does not make me a Tory before anyone starts that one.

I'm a small business owner in our first year and I'm fine with the budget changes. Yeah, it will mean a smaller margin but I'd rather that if it means the money will be used to support our most vulnerable.

And with labour I have a bit more confidence that the money will be used to make change rather than lining a Tory mucker's pocket!

And my employers are absolutely rolling in it... so can afford it easily!

Why can't they ever class businesses with different categories in order to help the ones that can't afford to pay and get money from those that can.
