Labour's tax bomb budget causes business confidence to crash to lowest levels since Covid as entrepreneurs accuse Rachel Reeves of undermining growth

Daily Mail  

Labour's tax bomb budget has sent confidence crashing to its lowest levels since Covid as business leaders mourn the loss of their 'natural optimism'. Charities have also urged Chancellor Rachel Reeves to spare them from her £25billion hike in employers’ National Insurance The IoD's optimism tracker plummeted to minus 65 in November - sharply down from minus 52 in October and the lowest score since April 2020 The IoD's optimism tracker plummeted to minus 65 in November - sharply down from minus 52 in October and the lowest score since April 2020. After Labour took office growth shrank to just 0.1 per cent in the third quarter, the joint second-worst in the group Ms Reeves acknowledged that businesses would have to absorb the costs of paying more national insurance or giving out smaller pay rises. Minister for defence procurement Maria Eagle said that departmental costs would increase by £216million as a result of changes outlined in the Budget Tory MP Dr Caroline Johnson accused Labour of having 'given with one hand and taken away with another' after almost 10 per cent of its defence budget boost was shown to have been cancelled out by the increase in employers' National Insurance contributions Anna Leach, chief economist at the IoD, told of how the Budget risked wiping out private sector economic growth.
