During the course of the pandemic millions has been paid out in business support with little or no scrutiny. While the disproportionate impact on women’s employment has been studied, there has been no similar assessment on the impact to women’s businesses.

About Labour Business
Labour Business, formerly the Labour Finance and Industry Group, was founded by Harold Wilson in 1972. Today, it is one of the 22 socialist societies affiliated to the Labour Party. As such, it is the oldest, largest and only business membership group affiliated to the Labour Party.
Labour Business is the bridge between the Labour Party and the business community. It is a voice for the Party within the business community, and a voice for the business community within the Party.
Its mission is to bust the myth that the Tories are the party of business, and to establish Labour as the natural party of business by advocating a partnership between government, businesses and trade unions for a new and more sustainable kind of economic growth.
Our activities include business engagement, policy development, media outreach and member events. We work closely with the Labour Front Bench and Backbenchers in Parliament, with Labour City Mayors, with Labour Councillors and with Labour Party units nationally and regionally on business engagement and policy development. Our flagship initiative in 2017-18 is to secure the appointment of a Business Liaison Officer (BuLO) to work with the existing Trade Union Liaison Officer (TULO) in every CLP across the country. We have a federal structure which allows members to participate in our work both nationally and regionally.

"2 years ago we made a promise to the Northern Ireland Protocol.
We are determined to break it."
Quite right @SadiqKhan While single market membership wouldn’t fix all our woes it would certainly protect as from many of them and not make us the worst performing developed country (apart from sanctioned Russia). No brainer. No question. #Brexit #SingleMarket
London Mayor Sadiq Khan insists that Britain should rejoin the single market, branding leaving the EU the "biggest self-harm ever done to a country."
He’s right as usual. 👏👏👏👏👏
