It's an autobiography. It's biased.

This doesn't make the facts she cites, or arguments she presents any less compelling.

It's not really that far fetched to say that "most of our stuff is made in countries with abundant cheap labour".

Investing in R&D would not have solved the fundamental issue - workers in the UK are expensive. Workers in poor countries are cheap.

That's not a fundamental issue unless you've redefined fundamental, you need to learn more about Economics and Manufacturing.
