“With the economy on its knees and millions facing unemployment, hammering Britain’s big employers would be madness. Taxpayers will never forgive Rishi if he wrecks the recovery before it’s even begun.

“Instead of raising corporation tax, the chancellor should slash the cost of hiring, boost pay packets and drive a wave of employment to get the economy moving again.”
