Alex Depledge Explains Why UK Government Only Care About Quick Wins

EP 375 - The conversation ranged far and wide with Alex Depledge,
CEO of Resi and newly coined “Tech- Sis”.  It took in her
frustrations that no-one wants to have a long term conversation,
how the short term news cycle is killing politics and why
increasing polarisation is killing informed debate and damaging
society.


She came out to bat for the Labour government in general - we
should give them time - and Rachel Reeves in particular for her
willingness to stand behind a decision, even if it is
unpopular. 


She did not come out to bat for bats, people who play the victim
and using regulatory sledgehammers to crack walnuts.  


If you like your opinions strong and your laughter infectious,
listen in.


FACT CORRECTION - Alex stated that the UK Electric Grid energy
wastage is at 40% which may have been true at the time of
recording. Most recent figures show that it is nearer 10%.
