Torsten Bell, the pensions minister, argues that Britain’s struggling public services harm businesses and that investing more taxpayer money to improve them is essential for economic growth. Despite criticism of budget increases, including a £25 billion rise in employer national insurance, Bell emphasizes the need for better public services, especially in healthcare. He points out that a failing state translates to higher costs for businesses, exemplified by security measures that address rising shoplifting due to inadequate responses. He asserts that economic stagnation is deeply tied to the health and livelihood of the workforce.
The reason why the budget is pro-growth is because you cannot have a failing state and a growing economy.
It is like a sickness tax on every business in the country if their workers are off because they are not being treated.
