Economic nationalism verified

In his first speech (31 July 2019), Young emphasised local small business and local employment, describing Longman as made up of over 12,000 small businesses and praising local operators as "hardworking locals, employing locals and spending their money locally." He said "the onset of online businesses and multinationals has made the life of the local business owner that much more difficult" and pledged to break Longman's tradition of higher-than-average unemployment.
