Here’s a simple way to plan for economic growth…
The UK is £3T in size.
For every 1% of growth, you need £30B of new value created.
To get new value you need businesses.
£30B is:
- 30,000 x £1M revenue businesses.
- 10,000 x £3.35M revenue businesses.
- 3000 x £10M revenue businesses.
Have a plan for all three. Support an existing 30,000 startups to hit £1M+.
Create incentives for 10,000 YouTubers, Agencies, Micro-SaaS companies doing £2M+ to relocate to the UK.
Work with global VCs and PE to bring in 3000 Mid Sized companies that are stuck at £10M-£50M.
Focus on revenue growth first and tax later.
@DanielPriestley Hey Dan, great post !
Quick one: I think there’s a typo in the first line. You wrote “A socialist can’t set up a company…” but it should be “can”, right?
Number of seasons as a Top 3 spender in the Premier League 💸
Pep Guardiola 🇪🇸 7/10 (70%)
Jose Mourinho 🇵🇹 6/10 (60%)
Sir Alex Ferguson 🏴 8/21 (38%)
Jurgen Klopp 🇩🇪 2/9 (22%)
Arsene Wenger 🇫🇷 3/21 (14%)
From 1990 until 2001 Sir Alex won 20 trophies the same as Pep
All this was done while only being the 10th highest spender in England, this included 3 European trophies in a time that Italy & Spain had superior money to English sides.
This all came after Sir Alex took over a broken and failing institution in Man United which he spend years fixing and rebuilding from the bottom up.
The idea that any reason “baffles” you Jamie is absolutely ridiculous especially when Pep’s success is on the back of 115 allegations that Man City build their finances to fund Pep fraudulently.

@paddypower A young kid loses his dream career due to injury, holding back tears when Michael Carrick announces his departure in front of the home crowd, and you are laughing at him?
I'm a Manchester United fan but I still don't understand how Bruno Fernandes won the FWA award ahead of Rice.
Here are some of Rice's stats:
93 corners taken in 33 starts
62 long throws
85 corners taken outside the right place to take them
62 unsuccessful long throw-ins
26 fouls committed by him
He's clear of everyone that's overhyped in this league.
