More than half of business leaders say Labour is 'anti-business' - London Business News | Londonlovesbusiness.com
"Andreas Adamides, CEO of Helm, said, "Our members feel betrayed, ignored, and genuinely let down by a government that promised growth but has delivered nothing but uncertainty and indifference. "These aren't faceless corporates-they're founders who've risked everything to build businesses, create jobs, and drive the economy forward. "They wanted to believe Labour understood them. Instead, they've read endless speculation about punishing tax rises and listened"
"Around 63% of business founders said the government is "anti-business" and 95% said it does not 'reward hard work' in a poll carried out by one of Britain's biggest business networks. When 400 members of Helm were asked in an online survey: "do you believe the government is anti-business?" 64% said "yes," 23% said "no" and 14% said "don't know." The survey carried out between 18 and 19 November also asked, "do you think the government rewards people for working hard?" with 95% saying "no," two per cent saying "yes;" and 3% saying "don't know.""
An online poll of 400 Helm members, conducted between 18 and 19 November, found 64% believe the government is anti-business, 23% said no, and 14% were unsure. Ninety-five percent said the government does not reward people for working hard, while 2% said yes and 3% were unsure. Seventy percent judged it acceptable for a government to break a manifesto pledge, with 23% opposed and 6% undecided. Respondents reported past votes: 49% Conservative, 20% Labour, 9% Reform, 6% Liberal Democrat. Voting intentions showed 6% Conservative, 15% Reform, 0% Labour, and 58% undecided. Helm founders average £21 million revenue and their businesses contribute around £1 billion annually in taxes.
