Great to be out and about on Stony Stratford high street today with @emily4MK and @chriscurtis94 this #SmallBusinessSaturday.
Small businesses are the lifeblood of local economies - and only Labour understands what they need to grow and thrive.

Today we met with Ryan, owner of eco-conscious hairdressers Crawford Hair.
His salon has many loyal customers who come from many miles away for great service.
But like many small businesses, especially high street ones, Ryan’s costs are rising.

Lampwise has been in business for over 20 years and you can see why - it sells every kind of lamp, bulb and accessory possible.
Small businesses like this provide a service that internet giants can never match. But the unfair business rates system is holding them back.

Thank you to all the hardworking business owners in the UK for all you do to support local communities.
This #SmallBizSaturday, only Labour has a plan to back small businesses and give them the platform to grow and thrive.
