Love to see pension funds putting more money into British businesses.

Over the last 25 years, they've fallen from 40% of their investments going to British businesses to 4%.

That's bad for business here.

It's bad for our stock market, but it's also bad for pensioners.

In fact, a Canadian pensioner will get almost double the pension from the same amount invested as a British pensioner.

We need to sort that.

Early on, the most important thing is to start building a customer base.

Until you've got customers, you have no idea whether the products and services you're offering are going to be the ones that people want.

So a lot of people spend far too much time building out pages and pages of business plans, thinking too hard about what they're going to do rather than just doing it.

You know, the great fun of launching Kraken was it was the engine that powered Octopus to grow, you know, ultimately to the biggest energy supplier in the UK with, I think, the best service.

But we were able to license it to our rivals as well.

So the interesting thing is the world is more complicated than you think.

And your competitors will work with you if it's in their interests.

Yeah.

We're halfway across the road.

Now, if you've ever seen anyone hesitate crossing a multi-lane highway, that is a very dangerous thing to do.

The best thing is to get right across as quick as you can.

You can run a very high proportion renewable grid incredibly reliably, but you don't do it like you did the old ones.

Markets have got to move at the same speed as technology and engineering innovation.
