@andyburnham So far all I’ve heard is more of the same short-term thinking that has stalled successive UK governments.
What’s needed is bold, long-term strategy instead:
1. Energy Independence — Build the infrastructure to secure our own power.
2. AI & Quantum Leadership — Position the UK as a global tech powerhouse.
3. Deregulate Construction — Fast-track public and private infrastructure projects.
4. Reform Benefits — Transition 50% of working-age benefit recipients into high-demand jobs across energy, housing, and AI infrastructure.
5. Back UK Startups & Capital — Cut mindless regulation to keep our best companies listing in London rather than fleeing to the US.
@xGPhilosophy@inHighburyN5 Over the three wins so far, allowed 1 shot on target versus 2 goals for City and 5 goals for potential champions (according to Chelsea fans). 😉
