Red tape mythed

Matt Weston, 3 Apr

The TUC thinks the red tape crisis (as reported by the CBI, Chambers, IoD amongst others) is a myth, and has just inked a report called Slaying the Red Tape Myths. Well it would, wouldn’t it?

But no matter, because in this case the TUC is right. I just read (via Adrian Pepper) a new IoD report that says red tape, taxation and skills shortages are the three main factors holding back business growth. Do not swallow. You can make macro excuses about red tape etc etc, but the real factors holding back business growth are always bad ideas and bad execution.
