YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Sky News' Darren McCaffrey asked Sir Tim Martin, founder and chairman of JD Wetherspoon, about the chancellor's decision to raise employers' national insurance.

Martin replied that it will affect Wetherspoon "a heck of a lot", adding: "Much more of an issue for us is the level of taxes."

He said the rise from 13.8% to 15% will cost the business £1.2m a week.
