IN A keynote speech this week Jeremy Corbyn summed up how Britain’s economy has developed in recent decades by saying: “While the finance sector has continued to grow, a decade after the bankers’ crash the super-rich have grown still richer.
“For too long, many of our communities have lost out in the global economy free-for-all. The few have succeeded, but at the expense of the many.”
