I know quite a few business owners who are resigned to laying off staff should Labour get in.
Either that or shutting up shop completely and cashing in.

So how much do they expect to make from stopping free hot lunches for seven year olds?
That isn't the issue with me! I'd pay more tax that's not the problem! The problem is corbyn!
Just said mate, this was said before - it didn't happen.
Also said, tax relief will be introduced.
Small businesses will be helped and bigger, more profitable ones, will pay more.
****ing beats me why people are so against us raising standards in this country.
I don't know but as a parent of a child in EYFS currently receiving a free lunch I don't need, I really couldn't give a **** if I lose the benefit. The cost is piddling for the vast majority, and those who need it (benefits claimants) will continue to get it.
It's all arse about face. Just like the child poverty estimates which labour are using.
Fair enough mate and good on you.
Why?
What don't you like about his policies given that, as a business owner (grocer I assume), you are sound enough to say you'd pay more.
For one, people will have more to spend in your shop.
I tell you what I'd liked to have seen, Labour reverse the hike to VAT they rightfully pissed and moaned a bucket full about. Conveniently, it suits them to leave it in place.
Keep up mate. McDonnell has said they'd look to lower VAT when in govt.
I'd happily pay more tax if it went to the correct services/ people who need it to help the country as a whole.
Not the masses of professionals dole bums , drugged up criminals and - insert politically correct word- who don't deserve the steam off my piss.

I do work in the food industry all over the country and there are virtually no Britsh people working in any of the factories I've been to. This is due to wages and the type of work involved. What will happen to these companies when the immigrants are kicked out, not to mention the income tax lost?
It is odd to give free meals to people who don't need them, it's like child allowance, I banked all ours in savings accounts in the kids names and they got it on their 16th birthdays.
Question? Where does the minimum wage stop, when is the minimum wage a fit and proper wage.... the proposal of £10 before 2020 would be a 40% increase on where it currently stands (give or take) for over 25 year olds.. (is this £10 level being applied to 21 to 24 age group and 18 -16year olds too?)..... when will it then become £12/ £14... and when does that figure stop representing value for the employer and make their business unviable, pricing them out of the market, especially the smaller businesses, the backbone of business in this country. These levels of increase are unsustainable, as someone pointed out on one of the debates, the previous rises have been low 10 percentage points not 30's and 40's, theres no wonder that migrant foreign nationals would be mad keen to work here for £10 an hour which is probably more than a skilled educated individual would in the lower echelons of European countries.
Glad to hear it mate.
In a fairer a society, we'll have less of the ****s you list there.
Less desperation, less misfortune and fewer of the disenfranchised.
I haven't seen McDonnell on TV for a while, have they kicked him into the long grass, because they know he's a prat, like Boris Johnson...
Not going to disagree with you on Johnson.
Here's McD on the VAT cut:

Yeah but what would my wage bill be? You've seen the aggressive marketing that the big supermarkets are on with at present? They all concentrate on fresh produce at less then I can buy it for! So there's no chance of putting prices up! So I lay a couple of workers off and do more myself! I could be talking about hundreds of thousands of businesses around Britain!
As said mate, they'd help you with tax relief to cope with the wage increases.
As regard to the supermarkets, I completely agree with you.
