        #Labour would devastate our economy and undo the work of 40 years. We’d lose our seat on the UNSC and the decline from global power status would be certain and permanent. Job numbers would plummet and business flee. #Venezuela

        Dear all Entrepreneurs, next time you consider risking your livelihood, your home, your savings and your overall wellbeing by starting a company and employing others who get paid regardless just remember that IF you're successful, @johnmcdonnellMP is going to give 10% of it away.

        One of the big problems about this is that so many people work for international companies. Do Labour think they can tell Microsoft Oracle google amazon etc what to do.

        And also what does this mean if you work as a typist for an American law firm in London that is a partnership in Delaware. Load of old cobblers.

        But you do have to get beyond the click bait headlines and over simplification that some news stories create, and the commentariat that they trigger into responding. The hard data and evidence is there that employee ownership schemes work and are a good thing... if you want facts

        You can’t give away what isn’t yours. All they will do is scare away what few businesses hadn’t already been scared away just by the prospect of a Labour government.

        It seems to be a massive tax grab dressed up as free stuff for workers, and the costs will inevitably come back to us as consumers

        Like most socialist ideas, this us just another example of gambling with other peoples money. It will cost Labour nothing, and they can always blame the failure on the entrepreneurs, the business owners.
