Politics has become too suffocating. We need greater ambition. The country is not where it should be and nothing simple gets us out of that. We need to show a journey and a longer-term plan.
I want Britain to be the country that makes the breakthrough and delivers the cure for dementia the world has been waiting for.
This investment goes hand in hand with our plans for a National Care Service, helping ensure that people living with dementia get the care and support they need.
If the UK wants to build global companies, we need to be globally competitive. To do that, we cannot have Britain's start-ups simply sell up.
