Once again Rachel Reeves has taken a (pre-budget) swipe at regulations, claiming the British business is being held back by 'needless form filling'.
We've heard this antagonism towards regulation from previous Chancellors but somehow the supposed logjam remains & firms seemingly are still constrained.
There likely is excessive bureaucracy in aspects of business regulation, but this is dwarfed by two other issues: the UK persistently rubbish management & the impact of Brexit!
