One, because it was a lengthy interview, and i do think a large number of the short interviews i see merely produce sound bite answers they don t really inform the public. And secondly though i probably shouldn t say this it s 65 years since ijoined the conservative party. I was, am, and always will be a conservative. But for in recent months a little longer than a few months there s not been a great deal i could say that i would wish to say in favour of what the previous government were doing.

Has your dream come true? emphatically not
