Martin Wolf wrote an excellent opinion piece on Jeremy Hunt’s seek for an elusive growth strategy in last month’s Autumn Statement (November 27).
This week’s follow-up Hampton Court foreign investment fandango (“Sunak puts low tax at heart of pitch to overseas investors”, Report, November 28) as usual focused on the large, mainly foreign-owned global behemoths who care little about Britain’s growth as they have no skin in the game. Ronald Reagan was right: “Entrepreneurs and their small enterprises are responsible for almost all economic growth in the US.”
Perhaps Sunak could focus on what works rather than lining up his future employment.
