Despatch: How Labour took your job

from The Capitalist Hosted by CapX

Labour’s economic policies are hitting Britain’s job market hard — from higher National Insurance and rising minimum wages to new employment regulations that make hiring riskier and more expensive. Joseph Dinnage, deputy editor of CapX, examines the latest data on job losses, recruitment slumps, and the growing costs facing small businesses, and warns of the impact on graduates, hospitality, and the wider economy. Despatch highlights the best writing from CapX, read by an automated voice, and is produced by the team behind The Capitalist.
