The idea of a bonfire of regulations is a cheap totally impractical soundbite.

Perhaps, but it is not one of mine. Do you want a link to all the politicians who have said it? Perhaps this link will suffice.

And this extract:

=====
Business Secretary Sajid Javid said:


“This government is delivering on its commitment to free firms from £10 billion of heavy-handed over-regulation and build a more productive Britain. Hundreds of businesses responded to our Cutting Red Tape reviews and we are taking decisive action based on their experiences.

“Whenever we need to introduce new rules, we will consider their impact and make savings elsewhere. Through the Enterprise Bill, we are extending the scope of our deregulation target to cover the actions of regulators, going further than ever before to tackle troublesome red tape.”

A One-in, Two-out rule was introduced by the previous administration, which was the first in recent history to reduce the overall burden of regulation on business. The move to One-in, Three-out for new government legislation raises the bar and will help drive delivery of the £10 billion target.

How often is legislation repealed rather than added to?
You are creating a remainer myth based on fantasy.


A "two for one", or a "three for one", policy is all about numbers, not the effect of those regulations, and it is government policy.
