Reindustrialise, but make it work for people and for sustainable, shared prosperity.

The ambition is right, yet it’s time to look ahead and reimagine industry for a new era, finding a new sweet spot that works for people, communities and planet, rather than retreat on culture wars.

The media forensically dissects the pasts of people who challenge the status quo, such as Polanski and Corbyn. Fair enough, up to a point: we should know about our representatives. But it's far less inquisitive about those who defend power, however great their misdeeds, such as Nigel Farage.🧵
