Clare Barclay (CEO, Microsoft UK) has been appointed to chair the UK's new Industrial Strategy Advisory Council.

So, Starmer is trying to clip the wings of the CMA (see earlier post) & is putting the local CEO of a well known past monopolist in charge of recommendations around industrial strategy...

seeing a pattern?

Labour seems to think the future is a further compounding of the UK's oligopolistic economy.... Its not worked in the past so i why would it will now!
