Well done to these brave souls. Intraprenuers champion innovation from the inside but when the system is stacked against you, then whistleblowing and especially collaborative whistleblowing is a next level change driver

Leave is no plan.

Leaving Europe weakened the UK
Leaving the commitment to the Climate Act provides no innovation
Leaving the ECHR provides no protections

Watch the politicians who have no real ideas.

Britons think the Reform UK party is racist.

The search continues for decent politicians and credible solutions.

It doesn’t have to be sacrifice. It can be healthier eating & living, convenient travel, innovation, national energy security, individual fuel security & reduced costs of living (ultimately), economic growth, lucrative exports and improved trade

Another abundance book.

Abundance promoters are right to champion more technological innovation but also continue to reveal blind spots in their push for unchecked deregulation.

Just look at plastic pollution.

Peak China?

China’s share of global may have levelled off, but it is surely well placed ahead of the low carbon economy.

I imagine China’s growing dominance will continue as other nations fall behind in this space.
