We're not building energy generation.
And so my belief is like,
This is an extraordinary country.
It's a country that actually built the modern world.
I think my more controversial is I also think it is a country that on net has actually has an extraordinary moral legacy in the world that I really believe in.
And I've been very lucky in my life.
I built a business that turned out to be way more successful and valuable than I expected.
And so sort of at the age of my late 30s suddenly was like, well, I kind of have the opportunity to be able to kind of do public service.
I did a couple of stints in number 10 for first for Rishi Sunak and then for Keir Starmer.
And came out of that both kind of energized by what's possible in government, but also pretty depressed by where we actually are.
And so I wanted to give that speech to try and tell a story for a group of people who I think are dispositionally inclined to the narrative, but don't hear it.
That like, actually, this is possible.
I think we need to be really, really clear here what we mean, because I think there's two different things that people mean here.
Sometimes people talk about this, meaning, is your current job in your firm right now at risk?
And sometimes we're talking about the macro level.
Will this category of jobs exist?
I think that there is going to be a lot of disruption.
And I think for sure we're going to see individual firms fail, change the shape of their workforce, have to change the shape of their workforce a lot.
And that will cause real problems.
And we need to be ready for that.
