in the context of a brexit argument

he said it yes - but I don't think that that line somehow reflects the con attitude to business generally. on the other hand I know precisely the attitude of Corbyn and McDonnell because they don't make any real secret of it (though mcd has occasional forays into the City to try to cheer people up).

which actual policies of the cons do you think are "anti" business?
