Rachel Reeves aims to get regulators to 'rip up' 'anti-growth rules';
leaving aside whether any regulators rules *are* anti-growth, if the sectors' corporations & firms are allowed to nominate which rules are anti-growth, you can bet what will actually being identified are rules that are inconvenient to them because they (in one way or another) protect consumers....
Reeves' notion that deregulation is the answer misunderstands the character of the British 'problem'!

In response to this post@ChrisMayLA6 6 months and already this government is out of ideas, just relying on tory ones instead now.

They appear to have forgotten that it’s normally the Government that creates the rules and regulations that are to be enforced. And looking at the state of the railways, water companies etc, a relaxed ‘business friendly’ approach to regulation doesn’t look to be the fantastic idea they think it is 🤔

In response to this post@ChrisMayLA6 So, what happens when we reach the limits of "growth" given that there are 8 billion people living on a very finite planet with fixed amounts of resources.
@iveyline
Well the optimists are hoping for a technical fix - either on planet or off...
The pessimists see crisis & eventual extinction, I guess
