The Prime Minister did his best to sound bullish about the future of the UK tech sector yesterday as he opened London Tech Week. Some awkward technical issues with his autocue didn’t put him off his stride as he declared that Britain was “unequivocally, unashamedly and defiantly open for business.”
Leaving aside the bizarre idea of being “defiantly open” his rhetoric was brought to life in a very real way by the news that no fewer than three UK tech firms were at that very moment in the process of being snapped up by US investors.
This is what happens when you have a PM that is delusional. In his head he wants business growth, his ability and policies disagree.
