Very worrying the number of independent businesses reporting the same thing this week - small businesses in particular taken by surprise and only now realising the full impact of payroll increases. We need urgent reappraisal
First Payroll post budget, largest payroll we’ve ever had, and we are in April… That is even despite trying to mitigate. Worse than even the worst case model. It’s a disgrace what has been done to #HOSPITALITY

@SkyNews @andrealeadsom @KayBurley Yes, we are used to the costs of business, but not when there's a 300% increase in energy costs, 35% increase in food and wine costs, 12% increase in cleaning supplies, etc. Hard to prepare for that!
