Bosses of some of the UK's biggest firms have backed Conservative plans to axe part of Labour's planned National Insurance rise if they win power. The 23 - including Marks & Spencer's and Next's bosses - said the 1% NI increase would be a "tax on jobs" and would "endanger" economic recovery. David Cameron called it a "significant" moment in the election campaign. Phew! Businessmen don't want tax rises! There's a surprise. Cameron's on his way, carried along by the goodwill of his old chums in the City.
