EU & Big Business.

Big business leaders have today signed a letter calling for the UK to stay in the EU, despite the fact that the PM’s deal does nothing to help British business. These big corporations are heavily regulated by the EU and have spent millions lobbying EU politicians to get the rules made in their favour. They have also received huge grants from Brussels, so it is no surprise they want to stay in the EU.
However, it is telling how few businesses have responded to Downing Street’s call to sign up. Last week it was reported that 80 of the FTSE 100 companies would sign the letter, yet only 36 have.

The reality is that business is divided on the EU. Thousands of small businesses find the EU more of a hindrance than a help, and say that rules and regulations from Brussels make it more difficult for them to grow and create jobs. That’s why businesspeople across the country are already saying that they will Vote Leave on 23 June.
