Government moves too slowly. That’s not just the fault of the current government or the last one – it’s the system. Slowed down by bureaucracy. Paralysed by “can’t-do” figures. Obsessed with process over progress.
I come from a background of delivery. In the Army, working in a “human intelligence unit” – liaising with agents and special forces – we had to move from first gear to fifth in an instant. Lives depended on it. Getting ahead of the enemy, protecting our people and achieving results was the mission – not talking it to death.
