The UK does have a severe productivity problem. This is because we do not invest nearly as much in areas of high return. Taxes are too high and regulations are strangling. theconversation.com/four-reasons-w…

Any increases in taxation will severely harm the UK economy. Instead of looking to squeeze more and more money out of businesses- how about reducing the size of our bloated public sector? independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…
