Join the new nationwide campaign to ‘get Britain back to what it’s good at’
The UK is missing out on opportunities for new industry and growth due to barriers holding us back, says a new campaign, Britain Remade
People across the country are being urged to sign up to Britain Remade – a new nationwide campaign for economic growth in Britain. It aims to get the country “back to what it’s good at” by championing a new industrial revolution to speed up the UK’s drive towards energy independence and help families with the cost of living.
Britain Remade believes Westminster short-termism and a broken planning system are holding us back.
Founder Sam Richards, a former senior Government adviser on energy and industrial policy, is concerned Britain is falling behind other countries in building new energy infrastructure, major transport schemes and good-quality homes.
He says, “We risk missing out on new opportunities that would help Britain lead the world in clean industries such as offshore wind and electric vehicles.
“Across the UK, infrastructure projects that will reduce our reliance on foreign gas, slash bills and create decent jobs are being held up by bottlenecks in our planning system. This is just one reason why the British economy is stalling. It doesn’t have to be this way. Britain Remade will campaign to fix this.”
The campaign, which is not party political, aims to provide a powerful platform to people who feel let down by politicians’ promises. Richards will tour the country over the next few months talking to local representatives, business leaders and working people to find out what changes they want to see in their communities.
Britain Remade will then publish a series of policy recommendations throughout 2023.
“People are right to feel frustrated,” says Richards. “The economic facts are grim. The average British family is now almost £6,000 worse off than the average German family, and around £13,500 worse off than the average American family.
“Currently, too many people feel ignored by our politicians, which is why I have started Britain Remade to campaign for real change; change that can create real impact up and down Britain. I hope people will join us, and together we can help get this great country back to what it's good at.”
