Alan Mak: Kemi’s policies will reverse Labour’s damage to the economy
Alan Mak MP, a former Treasury and Business Minister, argues that Labour under Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves has left a legacy of high taxes, high regulation, and low growth, damaging Britain's economy and especially high-growth scaleup companies. He criticizes specific Labour policies including the 'Jobs Tax' (raising employer National Insurance), anti-employment legislation, energy policy driving up industrial costs, and taxes on family farms and businesses. Mak warns that these policies are driving entrepreneurs to scale up abroad, with 94% of high-growth businesses selling early or moving overseas. He calls on new Prime Minister Andy Burnham to adopt Conservative plans to cut energy bills, scrap red tape, and restore incentives for investment and work, warning that Burnham's instincts toward more state control would compound Labour's failures.
