In an interesting take on the Conservative conference, Reuters today warns that business leaders are concerned that the conference has been all about spending cuts at the expense of setting out a coherent plan for economic recovery.
Adam Marshall, policy director at the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) said “The government has set out its strategy on spending cuts, but we are pushing them to set out a clearer narrative on how to deliver growth.”
Another business leader who wished to remain anonymous added: “We’re in a dangerous space. They’re creating a perception that Armageddon is coming and it’s not encouraging. I know firms that are putting investment on hold.”
