8/ We won’t cut our way to prosperity; we have to grow into it. Back builders and innovators, make energy cheap and reliable, keep the rules stable and growth follows. What one policy would you back tomorrow to unlock UK growth?

7/ Talent & adoption: world-class visas for engineers, researchers and entrepreneurs; support SMEs to adopt AI, robotics and cloud so productivity spreads beyond frontier firms.

6/ Finance: help companies scale at home. Unlock a sliver of pensions/insurers for growth equity; improve university spin-out terms so founders can build here, list here, stay here.

5/ Investment: give firms stable incentives. Lock in multi-year capital allowances, protect R&D reliefs, and stop tinkering every Budget cycle. Patient capital needs patient policy.

4/ Planning: say “yes” to growth. Speed decisions for housing, labs, factories and data centres with strict time limits and standardised rules. Certainty crowds in capital.

3/ Energy: make power a competitive edge. Accelerate grid build-out, storage and connections; fast-track clean generation and small modular nuclear. Cheaper, reliable energy pulls in investment.

2/ Even with headwinds, the UK keeps punching above its weight. See the chart: we’ve created more unicorns than Germany + France combined. The ingredients are here. What’s missing is a long-term plan to turn potential into productivity.

1/ Britain’s growth has been weak since the financial crisis. But decline isn’t destiny. We’re a nation of hard workers and innovators; Brunel, Faraday, Lovelace, Turing, Whittle, Fleming, Berners-Lee. That pedigree hasn’t vanished.

A wobble in conviction maybe. Continued downward pressure from the markets may lead to concessions

This is what I was talking about earlier. In the 2008 crisis a single headline (false or otherwise) didn't have the ability to make everything ok again. This crash is not like 2008
INSANE market action right now. Market exploded higher on a headline attributed to Kevin Hassett. And now nobody can figure out where it came from and the markets are diving again. An 8% surge and then a 3.5% plunge in a matter of seconds

8/ Volatility doesn't equal collapse. Stay calm. Stay focused. Let good strategy—not fear—guide decisions.

7/ This moment is uncomfortable—but it’s not a catastrophe. Strong fundamentals. Thoughtful diversification. Clear-headed management. These are what matter now—not headlines.

6/ Investor sentiment also tells a different story. In 2008, there was panic and paralysis. Today? There’s caution, yes—but also perspective. Investors are thinking long-term. Some are even seeing opportunity.

5/ Under the surface, core indicators remain strong: ✔️ Low unemployment ✔️ Resilient consumer spending ✔️ Growth in many sectors This is a policy-driven pullback—not a structural breakdown.

4/ Today’s market correction is fundamentally different. It’s being driven largely by policy shifts—especially around trade and tariffs. Yes, it’s creating volatility. But it’s not rooted in financial system collapse.

3/ The causes? ➡️ Unchecked risk ➡️ Toxic lending ➡️ Poor regulation ➡️ Fragile institutions Recovery was slow and uncertain. Fear dominated every conversation.
