What % GDP increase would arise from "removing friction"?
5%. Everything is a trade-off but the public are told by politicians and populist media that you can have your cake and eat it.
Not sure what other options we have. We can't be a low tax Singapore on Thames as we have a generous health and welfare state and we're not large enough to be as protectionist as China or India.

Re: Starmer’s chronicles
Starmer's speech to the Munich Security Conference was well received by the Europeans. You can see what he's up to - using the Russian threat as a paramount reason for greater alignment with the EU. He was that specific.
Zelensky's speech was brilliant. He said "Ukraine has the best army in Europe. Don't let Russia tell you who can have NATO membership; make it your decision".
