only held back by him so its time to resign and let them take over.
Yup, Sunak’s resignation letter is particularly worrying imo, it included:
We both want a low tax, high growth economy, and world class public services, but this can only be responsibly delivered if we are to work hard, make sacrifices and take difficult decisions, I firmly believe the public are ready to hear that truth”.
When Tories talk of “difficult decisions” they always mean cuts in spending and services.
The “truth” which the public are apparently ready to hear is no doubt the same sort of “truth” as the public were told when the need for austerity to clear the deficit was sold to them.
Sunak also says:
“In preparation for our proposed joint speech on the economy next week, it has become clear to me that our approaches are fundamentally too different, I have reluctantly come to the conclusion we cannot continue like this”.
All of that has bugger all to do with the Pincher scandal or Johnson lying about what he knew concerning previous allegations. It is a criticism of Johnson’s economic approach.
The Tories have always been the party of austerity but it was Corbyn’s election as L TVabour Party leader that forced Theresa May to give up arguing the case for austerity, the public simply weren’t going to buy it anymore.
Johnson has maintained that position, as a big spending showman who needs to be loved by the public austerity has no obvious appeal to him. But now with him clearly on the way out I reckon the Tories will be ready to do what they do best – screw the public whilst telling them that it’s for their own good.
