The Major moment.
The PM’s speech was a complete non event, the kind of speech which failed politicians think will relaunch their careers and which fall like a dried leaf to the ground, with hardly a sound.
12 years in power and the aims are lower inflation (it has already peaked), growth ( it will return early next year), lower waiting times (presumably not as low as they inherited in 2010), reduce debt (so cuts and more cuts or more tax rises) and stopping asylum seekers (details to follow).
If it has a whiff of familiarity about it that is because you have heard it before. the desperate attempt by a an internally riven regime well beyond it shelf life, devoid of ideas and desperate for some new policies.
This is Rishi Sunak’s Cone Hotline speech. It will be as useful and as successful.
Economics, trade and Brexit, not necessarily in that order but the dog always comes first.
