An open letter to Kwasi Kwarteng

Dear Secretary of State,

Congratulations on the new(ish) job. What a mouthful – Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy – and what a wide and important brief. I have been enjoying your media slots which must be really tricky given the number of competing and sometimes conflicting messages coming from elsewhere in Government or from the Opposition. I don’t envy you but at least this job is about trying to build a future for the UK rather than handling flak from Brexit negotiations.
