Labour’s no. 1 objective was economic growth and they aim to achieve this whilst taxing businesses more to expand/exist/start
Has this worked in the past?
No is the short answer.
We hear about putting more money in people’s pockets, working with businesses to generate growth and investment and being honest with people. Yet we have had nothing but the opposite.
That’s what I thought
Do you happen to have any experience in business and/or economics yourself? And how would you fix it?

The best way I could help is not getting into politics. Enough idiots in there already.
but I believe in a number of things. Business not Government drive growth. So support business, including farming. And I prefer the concept of people deciding how to spend their money and not the Government deciding for them. Reduce not increase taxation. But that’s simplistic I know.

Buy low, sell high guys
When you buy low it’s because someone else is selling low. And vice verse. Two way transaction!
Fantastic comment and it seems to me you are a real defender of free speech. Added to that you come across as someone who takes things seriously and sensitively. You've got a good eye for detail and a very enjoyable writing style which it is a joy to read. Your comments are very important to this forum. Keep it up!!
No matter how many bosses of industry make statements on the lack of growth that will result from this budget, the likes of Long slender neck with their lack of knowledge of basic economics, will remain convinced the budget was great. As long as they perceive someone else is paying they are happy, with no concept that If the economy suffers, everybody suffers.
Sir John McVities and his fellow bosses of industry are whinging because they've got to pay a bit more tax and slightly higher wages to their lowest paid workers. So will have less profit to pay to dividends and have to pay themselves a slightly lower bonus.
