I have just returned to London after a month on the road, which has taken me to Toronto, New York and Washington.

She is also a razor-sharp communicator, whether it’s with megaphone in hand or in her blog. Activist and revolutionary: Vallejo is both of these things and more. Adept at getting her...

The Sunday Times Rich List ranks her as the wealthiest woman in Britain, and she is a former Miss UK turned successful singer. Her biography reads like the script of a Hollywood movie: a girl from rural Staffordshire with big dreams survives a life-threatening brush with meningitis...

But get beyond the apparent glitz and celebrity coverage to the people who create and work in such a dynamic industry and you will find that to make an impact, authenticity is essential.

Those of his core mantras that involve energy, taken together in strategic harness, make for an inspiring vision. Picture the scene. His Big Society concept sees communities taking power for themselves, providing for themselves. In short, Britain could be less centralised, more community-centric, more resilient to economic shocks.
