"Is Kemi Badenoch the Next Margaret Thatcher?" (at 1h17m48s), Honestly with Bari Weiss, 12 December 2024
“

The middle-class now has changed. It has become a lot more bureaucratic and we are producing more and more people from universities who are going into a bureaucratic job rather than a genuine producing job where you're adding value. And that, I think, is why the growth is reducing at the same time as we're facing increased competition from other countries that are not spending a lot of time on bureaucracy. The EU is the classing of this genre; It's all about pumping out regulation.
