Business has lost its voice

The business community has lost its voice. Enterprise, entrepreneurs, and wealth creators are barely mentioned by political leaders and decision-makers nowadays.

Whether it is those in the hospitality sector, scapegoated over Covid-19 or owners of limited companies, ignored during the pandemic; or the financial services industry and exporters who have been abandoned on the altar of political brinksmanship and opportunism over Brexit, there is no doubt that the private sector in the UK has never had as little influence over the direction of national government policy, for many a year.
