"The disregard for small businesses by Labour is staggering... Many small businesses are concerned that increased wage bills following Labour's first budget since 2010 will make already difficult conditions worse."
"Many small business owners are already struggling to keep their heads above water and the additional costs anticipated in today's budget, including tax hikes, will be enough to cripple some, resulting in layoffs and redundancies."
"For the average small business with 10 staff, all aged 21+ on national living wage, this would be an increase of 14,000 per year."
"Small businesses cannot put prices up to mirror due to uncontrollable cheap imports that don't pay into the UK tax system in any way... will be forced to lay staff off."
