Infrastructure is our family silver as a nation. It is our inheritance and our legacy. It helps define our greatness and our greatest days. It is the very furniture of a dynamic political economy. So I’m delighted it’s back in the news, back in fashion and back on the agenda of forward-looking politicians. We are talking here of what we will leave the next generation to make their lives and livelihoods richer, their tasks easier, their journeys faster, their trade and industry stronger. At relatively modest cost and nuisance to ourselves we can bequeath the young better cities and a better country to live and work and make their way in.
Matthew Parris gets it.
