Secondly Labour will get a letter out tomorrow from a group of businessmen who think their policy is fantastic and the Tories are wrong and they will send a letter to the Guardian or Independent.
Such is the venal, self-serving nature of Labour.
Is that not (more or less) what the Tories have done?'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is. A single market without barriers visible or invisible giving you direct and unhindered access to the purchasing power of over 300 million of the worlds wealthiest and most prosperous people' Margaret Thatcher0 -
So 14 leaders of the top 250 companies back the Tories proposals, wonder what the other 236 think ?
Nine of the 23 signatories to the letter run FTSE 100 companies and a further five are in the FTSE 250 (news) . Between them they employ more than 500,000 people.

I am no fan of the Tories, I see them as cynical opportunists, but this Labour good Tories bad narrative from the Labour bunkerbots round here is nauseating. I am simply predicting what the Labour Party are going to do.

Actually it would be interesting to know how many actually refused to sign that letter ,
but I will pass on that.

To cut the deficit it will be necessary to increases taxes and reduce spending.
Some of these captains of industry have argued for a faster reduction in the deficit in the past.
Obviously it would be wonderful is all the deficit reduction could simply be done by cutting 'waste' but in the real world that will prove dificult.
So increase in taxes are inevitable; probably better to increase VAT and Inheritance tax, capital gains tax etc that don't threaten jobs quite so directly than to increase employers NI.0 -
So the bulls are criticising the letter? What a lovely bunch of people.0

Just wondered what the other 90% + leaders of top 250 companies thought

Another tribal bunkerbot.
Not being against everything a party says does not automatically make one a fan of them.
I would sooner attack my scrotum with sandpaper and a saltwater dip than vote either Tory or Labour."There's no such thing as Macra. Macra do not exist."
