I feel like the policies are designed to destroy very small businesses. All the focus is on brick and mortar businesses , which are outdated.
If anyone knows any better, please explain it to me?

What has this to do with the Labour Party - you are blaming the past on them?

Sorry! Nothing to do with the Labour party, just illustrating why comments as above re paying our staff more wouldnt quite work with our business (and that all businesses are different). We did that and they didnt like it as it put them above thresholds..

That's nothing to do with your business being different, that is just the particular people you happened to employ.

Just to put into context how employment isn't all "black and white", we recently increased our hourly pay and three people left because it meant they lost their benefit payments/extras associated with same. They also got very annoyed by the pension, and opted out asap.

So you are paying people below benefits threshold?

We pay above NMW but they dont do many hours. So for the work they do with us, yes.
