Larry Elliot observes two key issues about the domination of #services in the UK economy:

1. services firms are concentrated in #London & SE increasing the problem of regional #inequality;

2. Despite their success, they cannot counter the massive deterioration in the #balanceoftrade in commodities & manufactured goods, that is driving our worsening trade deficit;

to which I would add:

3. due to their character services do little for the UK's #productivity problem!
