We're used to hearing that we live in an age of unprecedented division, that the great storms that have engulfed British politics over the past ten years have driven us further apart than ever, with no hope of finding common ground.Penny Mordaunt and Chris Lewis disagree. In this lively and insightful book, they argue that although differences of opinion are a natural part of healthy political debate, some of our current division is caused by a need for political reform. A wave of scandals has corroded public confidence in leadership in all walks of life, fuelled by a hyper-individualistic social media landscape - but by rebuilding public trust we can restore national pride and positive, competent politics.Greater lays out a plan for post-Brexit Britain. Delving into our history, our institutions and our culture, it explains how we arrived at this point and how the British character points the way towards practical national missions.It explores Britain's role in the world and how to balance global and local priorities; makes the case for the United Kingdom based on the mutuality that binds us; and calls for modernising reform in politics, government and markets. It describes the role of social media in culture wars and calls for a relentless focus on aspiration and a social enterprise revolution. Above all, it reminds us of the many reasons we have to be optimistic.

Inthis extraordinary new book, former Secretary of State Penny Mordaunt and co-authorChris Lewis build on the success of their Sunday Times-bestselling Greater:Britain After the Storm to celebrate the traditions and values thatunderpin British life.Pomp& Circumstance exploresBritain's traditions - both the ancient and the new. From coronations andnational events to local customs, they provide stability, reinforce identityand foster resilience to help us steer a course through the uncertainties oftomorrow. Nations, organisations and communities that have them thrive. Where theyare absent, it is harder to adapt to the fast-changing world.Ata time of great worry about our ability to adapt to an uncertain world, thisbook should give every Briton confidence and courage. It contains a uniqueperspective from someone who has had a ringside seat at many of our national eventsand crises over many years. Mordaunt, who in her ceremonial role as LordPresident of the Council famously carried the Sword of State and presented theJewelled Sword of Offering to King Charles III at his coronation, examines areasof traditional British culture - including the monarchy, Parliament, the law,sport and local traditions, as well as values such as sacrifice, courage andremembrance - to show how a country often thought of as old-fashioned actuallyuses its historical conventions to navigate the future.Farfrom being a brake on progress, our traditions offer a predictable rhythm tolife, promote values, encourage reflection and create a sense of continuitywhile allowing room for innovation and growth.
