Al Carns' Five Tests for Leadership

Former defense minister Al Carns has dropped a bold challenge for any would-be UK leader: pass his five big tests—or don’t even bother running. He’s calling for defense spending to hit 3% of GDP, slashing youth unemployment, boosting GDP by a trillion pounds in a decade, improving public services like healthcare and reducing re-offending, and reviving North Sea energy infrastructure.
