0:43Now PlayingWhen speaking to members of the governing class, I’m often struck by the sheer array of topics that are raised as being of pre-eminent importance.
The list is almost endless: climate change, democracy in Togo, trans rights in Bolivia…
The last thing that ever comes up is the British national interest.
I’m not entirely convinced many of them know such a thing even exists.
And I’m not talking about the diffuse nonsense that claims Britain ultimately benefits when it spreads human rights around the world.
No.
There are, at any moment in time, clear, specific objectives that will need to be taken to secure the safety and prosperity of the British people.
It is the job of our governing class to discern them and work to achieve them.
