Can Britain beat New York for startup talent?
Show transcript
The problem is it's very hard in this country for the prime minister's power is not all conquering. There are limits and those checks and balances good or bad they are they do exist in the regulatory system. So we do need to be a bit stronger and say we need a shareholding country. So we have 8% of people in this country own shares versus 34% in the US. That means that policies for businesses are less popular because less people benefit from the success in business. Let's change that. >> Um we're going to end the panel in in a few moments time as well. But just let me ask you finally as well. I first interviewed you where you won't remember but I first interviewed you and Martha a quarter of a century ago. You still have the same energy I think as a quarter of a century. I like to think I do as well. What keeps you going so energetically and so excited about working? >> I think it's we're so lucky to be in a world that's changing this fast. I think it's absolutely fascinating to wake up every morning and think about that. But the other thing is also for our children. It's a scary interesting time and I think we can on the margins influence a world that my three children moved to America. I want them to come back. So I want this country to be the best place for entrepreneurship and not New York which is where they've all moved to. I want them back. So, let's help change it.
