Can Labour reverse 'desperate loss of faith' from business?
Labour faces challenges in regaining trust from the business community post-election. Despite early support from prominent figures like John Caudwell, recent budget decisions, such as the rise in employers' National Insurance, have led to a "desperate loss of faith" among businesses. Small business owners like Rachel Carrell and Mark Hargreaves express concerns over increased costs and reduced confidence, emphasizing the need for swift government action to restore trust and support economic growth.
