Le succès du tir d’un missile M51.3 depuis Le Vigilant est une nouvelle démonstration de la crédibilité de notre dissuasion, dont la pérennité est assurée.

Don’t be the sales guy who writes an 8 paragraph manifesto to your boss asking for a bunch of stuff.
I’ve seen this way too many times, and it almost always does more harm than good
Here’s how to ask for something from your boss in an email:
-use bullet formatting
-start with the ask, don’t bury the lead
-provide 2-3 sentences of context (if necessary) laying out the problem being solved
-describe why this solves the problem
-describe what the implications are for your boss and/or the business if you don’t get what you’re asking for
-stick to facts & avoid emotional editorializing
-end with gratitude

Reindustrialisation won’t be delivered by city-regions, 10-year plans, or our large industrial companies.

America has 16,876 machine shops.
83% employ fewer than 20 people. Just nine employ more than 500.
New defense companies are moving from prototypes to mass production, and every missile, drone, ship, and rocket they ultimately produce needs to run through one of these small shops.
That friction is a national security liability.

Isembard Founder & CEO @AFitzgerald1992 shares how the company is building a new industrial base involving software, talent and franchising:
"Rather than go set up a McDonald's franchise, you could go set up and own your own factory making rocket parts."
"There's that scene from the Founder, that movie about McDonald's, where he's like, 'What makes an American town is the flag, the church house, the courthouse,' and he was saying the McDonald's, but my argument is it'll be an Isembard factory."
"There's this product layer of products, whether it's an Apple iPhone or a drone. They all need to be made by the component manufacturing layer."
"90% of the components in all these critical industries are made by small, medium-sized businesses."
"We're building a new industrial base through, one, software robotics; two, really talented people; and then third is actually like our unique business model, which is franchising."
Andrew Kramer retweeted
This is peak urbanism imo. Bringing factories back into cities will tap into far more competitive labour markets than the bau model of out of town business parks
The trick now is to anchor new town and city extensions around new factories and workplaces

@Dominic2306 joined us to discuss Whitehall's war on the future, touching on:
*⃣ How the post-1945 order drifted out of alignment with reality, and what happens in the gap before the crisis arrives
*⃣ What Britain should do next: quit the dysfunctional international institutions, act via smaller alliances, and gut the domestic deep state
*⃣ How the Cabinet Office became the exact two things everyone agreed at its founding would be a disaster
*⃣ The memos that cite legal advice forbidding the sensible thing – and the legal advice that turns out not to exist as a document
*⃣ Barnes Wallis, the British space plane, and Whitehall’s view, instilled in the Seventies, that very big, very futuristic projects aren’t Britain’s concern
Listen to the full episode via the usual means
“My fundamental argument 10 years ago... was that rebuilding Britain's economy and rebuilding British politics and government capacity... must have at its centre that science and technology becomes a fundamental aspect of the Prime Minister's job and priorities.”
