Critical National Infrastructure

The best way to protect some of these strategic national industries, such as energy, is to own them directly. Public ownership is British ownership, safeguarding, and safeguarded by, national and parliamentary sovereignty; safeguarding, and safeguarded by, parliamentary and municipal democracy; and safeguarding, and safeguarded by, the Union and the unions.

There is a clear, and highly active, role for those institutions even in relation to industries that either cannot, or on balance should not, be in public ownership. And there is now a major party in which both the Leader and the members understand all of this. Theresa May and her party need to make way for that Leader and for that party.
