Jeremy hunt or the current Prime Minister. I imagine rishi sunak will not react directly to his predecessor. But he will probably think being behind in the Opinion Polls to the Labour Opposition that this would be a brave or bold time to tell people they would have to work longer and potentially have Public Services to some extent reduced in terms of the cash available. Its quite a difficult political sell but what liz truss said she took personal responsibility for trying to rush through her agenda. She had a rather strange metaphor, not one to think about of your lunch, she did not just try to fatten a pig on market day, she tried to rear end and slaughter it all on the same day so she did rush her agenda but she said change had been urgent and what happened in the end wasnt so much the policies she was pursuing, they were not wrong, she argued the political and Economic Establishment including part of the Conservative Party turned against her and there was not enough consensus on co
six means biological six. now, labour like to talk the country down. they want to pretend that everything would be great if they have never left office and pretend that somehow we have not achieved anything, but that is just simply not right. remember the note that said there is no money left, when labour left office in 2010, unemployment was higher than when they came into government. public and private debt was accumulating, the banking system is broken, the deficit was ballooning, and even labour accepted that after years of spending, significant cuts in expenditure were required. they went into the 2010 election admitting they would have to make cuts. labour left britain on the brink of bankruptcy. and worse, the money that labour had put into public service had not been accompanied by sufficient reform. labour s welfare system was more about disguising how many people are out of work than actually getting people back into employment, and for all the money that labour had

Journalists. The financialtimes, donald trump, you have been studying him in some detail. It says that he has suffered his share of awkward moments at the gathering and i have been compulsively watching the videos of how he has been interacting with the other leaders of nato countries. When he was standing for president He Co Ntroversially Standing for president he controversially said that nato was obsolete so this is the main defence co Operation Organisation of the western powers. He has come around to it since being elected president. Here he was for the first time. Unlike his Secretary Of State who had come to need to a couple of months ago and made very soft and friendly noises towards americas allies, trump was very confrontational and slide of a run off for not paying enough. There is this Background Road about whether the us has been leaking intelligence from the investigation into the Manchester Bombing. It has been a very tense day of the nato summit.
