Just seen the Tom Hugendhat interview - a bit of a car crash really. How many times did he say ‘10 year plan’ and ‘clean start’? Seemingly unable to think on his feet, relying on sound bites instead. Rather a ‘strong and stable’ vibe.
Jeremy Hunt says he will appoint Esther McVey as deputy PM if he wins. The dream team?

In a sane world it would. However...That will hopefully damage him. She is hated by many Tories in her own constituency (I know one), absolutely detested on Merseyside where she lost her seat, and stained nationally by the vicious cruelty of her time with IDS ensuring those on benefits all starved. I can’t see her being a popular choice anywhere really. The poster definition of the term ‘snide’.
This is the fundamental point. We need MIck Lynch to come on and say “so which public cuts are you going to cut to pay for it” and when they say they won’t cut services but look at efficiency savings, has can justifiably call them a “liar”.Tax cuts won't be 'unfunded', they'll be used as an excuse to cut public services still further. It's what Tories do.
Sajid Javid and Rishi Sunak have both vowed to reduce corporation tax from 25% to 15% if they become prime minister, which, by a bizarre coincidence, is exactly what their wealthy corporate donors want them to do.Just been watching the Saj. Very keen on tax cuts (not unfunded ones, he’s due to publish his plan). There’s a corp tax rise due in April from 19% to 25%. That’s a 31% increase. The Saj (and Hunt) will reduce CT to 15%.
