But on the plus side there will be plenty of measurable targets to tick off so some insufferable **** can create a meme telling everyone how great it was.

Growth plans not exactly going well.

We can disagree about opinions but it’s more difficult with facts.

I don’t disagree with that. I was disagreeing with your comment that it would adversely affect most SMEs when that clearly isn’t true. You article refers to 26% of SMEs which is far from a majority.

Well there are 26% which are considering very drastic action. That doesn't mean that others are still not going to be detrimentally affected such as the 42% that are thinking of stopping recuritment.

Using our small business as an example, luckily I don't see us laying off staff. For us the tax rises will probably result in a mixture of inflationary increases passed to our clients and us absorbing some costs where we can with us having to cut back on our investment and growth plans. But we will have to see how the general market in our sector deals with it as our industry is affected heavily by interest rates.

I think targets and ratings are already in place, part of what’s wrong to many tick boxes not enough beds or staff they are over worked from my experience

We had a fair few centrists' of a Labour persuasion who for years followed a certain socialist mantra things like

Look after the elderly our pensions ate too low
Austerity is a ideological choice not a necessity
Politicians should be truthful, honest and not lining their pockets

Then their party got in and they discarded it all, hence false reds.

The purples.

Genius...
