- Labour isn't working. Kemi and @Helen_Whately right to call out anti-jobs measures Labour have introduced in last two years and are running out of time to turn this around.Labour entered government and ⬇️hiked employers National Insurance ⬇️hiked the minimum wage ⬇️loaded new regulations on businesses The result?
