Matt Clifford, co-founder of Looking for Growth and former AI adviser to the Prime Minister argues that "we have to make the UK rich again".
He said: "This is the country where the laws of gravity were discovered. Where natural selection, the electron, and the neutron were discovered. Where the structure of DNA was first uncovered. Where vaccination was invented. Here we discovered penicillin, pioneered antiseptic surgery, we invented the modern clinical trial.
"This is where computer science was born - the country of Babbage and Lovelace, of Turing. It's where the steam locomotive was pioneered and industrialised - the birthplace of the railway age. It's where the steam turbine and the jet engine were invented.
"It's the birthplace of modern sanitation, the postal service, common law, constitutional rights, parliamentary democracy, the stock exchange, joint-stock companies, the police, the National Health Service.
"We invented football. We invented rugby. We invented golf. We invented cricket. It's the country of Shakespeare. Of Eliot and Tolkien.
"Britain created the modern world. This country gave us so much of what not only we, but the world, values today."
