Starmer prepared to make 'enemies' for growing the economy
What I will do is say to someone who's objecting to electricity pylons going across the field near their house, sorry, they've got to be built. We've got to get the economy. Maybe if you're worried about huge new housing development, sorry, that has got to be built. Are you prepared to make enemies, to make the economy grow? Yes, we're going to have to be tough. We're going to have to change the way things are done. Like if you want short example, I won't take long, but it makes my point. I spoke to the CEO of an energy company, say, how long would it take you to put a wind turbine farm up? He said I could do it in two years. He said you wouldn't get any power out of it for 13 years because I'd lose five years to planning another six or seven years before the grid connected. We cannot go on like that.
