usinesses asking the government to swoop in and hit them with a new regulatory requirement backed by the force of law? Surely this can’t be true?
In any other year this would be a laughable idea but in 2020, which has been as weird as it has been woeful, this is the state of play.
The business leaders’ call, in a letter to the prime minister adroitly sent first to his favourite newspaper (that’s The Daily Telegraph), might feel like it’s in the “weird” category but it is decidedly not woeful.
