- @matthewclifford’s pragmatic optimism is so infectious. Agency is a hard thing to inspire but he does it over and over.The UK is a great country with an extraordinary history. Our stagnation is real, but it's fixable and worth fixing. Enjoyed giving this talk at @lfg_uk last week and so encouraged by the optimistic responses I've had from people who are building a brilliant future for Britain 🚀
