Rural and coastal areas are losing out when it comes to top-down health policy.
Funding formulae do not sufficiently reflect rural challenges and patient choice is not a reality where services are sparse.

7/ On frontier technologies, the Shadow Foreign Secretary rejected tying the UK to Brussels’ innovation regime, an opportunity identified in The Case for Full UK-US Strategic Economic Alignment, which argued for deeper transatlantic cooperation on emerging-tech ecosystems.

8/ Both speeches identified the need for a policy which recognises that hard power and economic strength now count for more than multilateral participation, urging Britain to confront the hard realities of the world it finds itself in. This was the subject of Tom Tugendhat’s conversation with Professor John Bew earlier this year.
