Sir Keir Starmer, the chancellor and business secretary have written to the UK's main regulators asking them to come up with ideas for reform that could boost economic growth.

They contacted watchdogs, including energy regulator Ofgem and water regulator Ofwat, before Christmas asking them to submit proposals by mid-January.

This comes after figures published earlier this week indicated the UK economy had flatlined between July and September.

So there is no economic plan, as I thought. Relying on foreign investors is just plain stupid.

The regulators will recommend add taxes and raise existing ones.

A wealth grab on the people with money and assets, big cars and houses.

Starmer will get desperate and blood thirsty for money like a vampire and rampage through this country.

I guess Starmer/Labour once elected in the summer were expecting/hoping:

1) Trump not getting elected,

2) EU to roll over/be easy to negotiate easing the UK's trade barriers with the EU,

3) Middle East situation to ease, &

4) Status quo/stalemate in Ukraine.

In the summer, the above seemed likely/doable...Best-laid plans & all that...

I forgot to aid that Labour probably underestimated the impact of Reform & how poorly the Tories did in the GE & since with Badenock...

I did not think any of the above was close not a sniff. Trump was winning from the middle of the campaign. LOL

That's why I said hoped; most commentary had Trump ahead but marginally; after the assassination attempt (Mid July), he jumped ahead ...I do believe the size of Trump's win was unexpected by most commentators, pollsters.

On 3); I don't think anyone expected Assad to flee or for Israel to have launched their operations in Syria, Lebanon or Iran, making ME more risky

So on Christmas Eve Starmer and Reeves write to. a selection of quangos, including the Environment Agency, asking for ideas to boost growth, replies by 14 January. Given that no civil servant will work before the 6 January, they won’t have time to form the first committee or focus group by the 14th

Surely the last people who you'd want to speak to about generating growth would be regulators? That's like asking turkeys to vote for Christmas or asking train drivers how to implement driverless trains.

The environmental impact assessment will take 24 months at a minimum.

Regulators will only have one answer.

Are they asking the regulators what could be bypassed in terms regulation to make something less costly and therefore on paper more efficient?

Seems a strange request to such organisations.

Yes, asking quangos for advice on economic growth is a bad idea because they largely exist to stifle growth and are staffed by those with little business knowledge. Remember when career Civil Servant Sharon White went to run John Lewis and almost wrecked the company ?

Yes, you are correct.

But of course some people would want to put any negative spin on the story that they can dream up.

Hang in, they kept saying before the election that they knew how to fix the economy (dispute inheriting one of the fastest in the G7) and that they would deliver the fastest consistently growing economy. Sounds like they either did not have a plan at all and once again were saying anything to get elected, or they have realised they are not the financial guru's they thought they were when in opposition. The other thing is, is this a strategy to shift the blame onto others if the economy does not improve

2024 Manifesto

How Labour will kickstart economic growth:

• Deliver economic stability with tough spending rules

• A new partnership with business to boost growth everywhere

• A National Wealth Fund to invest in jobs

Planning reform to build 1.5 million new homes

• Devolution of power across England

• A New Deal for Working People

Sustained economic growth is the only route to improving the prosperity of our country and the living standards of working people. That is why it is Labour’s first mission for government. It means being pro-business and pro-worker.

We are the party of wealth creation.

The socialist race to the bottom.

Did Johnson not create a role for a Brexit minister (Minister for Brexit Opportunities and Government Efficiency) to find the benefits of Brexit?

Seems that some are quick to criticise Labour yet were quite happy to support a government that took us out of the EU then created a role to find out why..

There are no benefits of Brexit. Eight and a half years, and some still looking.
