Met leadership doesn't care about phone theft. They only arrest phone thieves when we apply pressure. The system is busted. It's a clear symptom of decline, of low expectations of our leaders. Why is victim blaming okay here? Why must we hide our phones?

Come to Make or Break and discover the three secret things that Sam, Samuel and I think are essential to solving British stagnation!

We keep saying it. It keeps being true. This is why we started LFG. There has been no change. It's just the same, constant, unending cycle of decline. We can do better than this! Britain has the talent, the drive and the ambition, it needs the blockers removed!!

You can tell a lot about a person by the books they like. For me, the biggest 🚩 is when someone recommends a book on ‘systems thinking’. 📉 HealthCare dot gov locked out millions of users at launch. Australia’s disability overhaul sent costs spiralling past forecasts. The UK’s

New stats show Britain had ZERO GROWTH in July. This is what the chancellor said of the same numbers 2 YEARS AGO. Different government. Same stagnation. Same decline. Decline is a choice. Time for politicians to move fast, and let Britain build things.

Alarming thread on the govt's new advisor on Planning and Infrastructure reform, Catherine Howard. She seems to have supported the environmental lobby's campaign against Part 3 of the Planning and Infrastructure Bill, which successfully watered down the best part of it.

One year ago: "Adults in the room" The system is currently ungovernable and our politicians consistently lack the nerve and planning to actually get anything done. You have to be brave, you have to care and you have to be ready to do things that your dinner parties won't like!

Day 3 on the purple line. You are being told to not believe your lying eyes. Authorities shouldn't celebrate purple lines. They should crack down on phone thefts.

Radical solutions are what we need. Tinkering at the edges will do nothing. Politicians need to wake up and realise: it's time to act. If they won't do it to save the people of this country - they should think selfishly: if they don't act, they won't have jobs much longer!

Well, just witnessed one's second theft in Leeds. Brazen and shamelessly walked in, took his chocolate rice cake (and I paid for mine own!) And just walked out, hand in pocket. Why Looking for Growth and Crush Crime go hand in hand. No crime is victimless, and this one's is the economy.
