It has an ethos of “service” and if this is to flourish then the people and not the state must take charge.

[56] [57] Leader of the House of Commons: 2022–present [ edit ] Mordaunt, as Lord President of the Council, arriving at the Accession Council of King Charles III There is little in Mordaunt’s public record that suggests she is particularly amenable to Conservative views. The core thrust of her book (written with Chris Lewis) is that Britain needs to be ‘modernised’ – a word that to conservatives generally signals ‘made more amenable to Blairites’. Where the book starts to go awry is the next step: a discussion on how to lead and where. The authors want a plan, even though early on they proclaim that “plans are useless, but planning is important”. And yet they say it’s “very British” to have no plan, an observation perhaps intended to tease; the paradox of how planning can be important while any resulting plan is useless is never explained. Although the book implies a belief in the enabling rather than the interventionist state, it is never explicit who or what would do the planning.Britain will need a clear vision and renewed hope for the decade ahead. This book offers them – arguing it has the reasons for confidence and the resources to meet the challenges. After five years of division and turbulence, here is a path to a better future.” Sir Anthony Seldon
