Rupert Soames: How to Fix Britain’s Broken Systems | The Policy Fix with Steve Rigby
Britain is facing some of the biggest structural challenges in a generation - from weak growth and rising debt to failing public services and declining business confidence.
In this episode, Steve Rigby sits down with Rupert Soames, Chair of the CBI and one of the UK’s most respected turnaround leaders, to discuss what it will actually take to fix the system.
Rupert shares candid insights from:
- Saving the CBI during its crisis
- Running some of the UK's toughest public service contracts
- Working with government at the highest levels
- Why fiscal rules matter more than politicians admit
- What Britain needs to get right in the next decade
This is a grounded, practical conversation about delivery, responsibility, leadership - and the real choices Britain faces.
