favourite among mps. she didn t take over until quite a long way in. most mps preferred choice at the very start. also, his slightly more for still conservative. fiscal conservative. it is a very radical approach. lots of borrowing really worries a tory mps, that their reputation as a party of looking after the finances, they do worry this will get ripped up by all this borrowing. james mentioned in the mail, so why don t we show it. it s celebrating this mini budget. no doubt there about what the daily mail think of it. they re kind of highlighting
this is so much. just what happened over the last 24 to 48 hours. and i m cuious because you travel so much when you re seeing on the ground, what you re hearing on the ground. is there any indication that this is having an impact on the average voter? i think this is where two things can be true at once. i was talking to an arizona republican voter in phoenix here, more of a traditional, fiscal conservative. what he saw was vile. he said he would have never gone on to the capitol prems. it was a profest that got out of hand. he condemns it in the strongest words. at the same time, he said he would still back donald trump in 2024. so on one hand, somebody can look at the damning evidence here and believe that there was the right amount of wrong doing, but on the other hand, people can still look at donald trump and view him as a future leaer
as we said earlier, you have this self proclaimed fiscal conservative. and his spring statement, a few weeks ago, which was a sort of minimalist approach to the economic crisis, was him. boris johnson was weak. he couldn t be this sort of call me a rooseveltian spend, spend, spend and and sunak didn t. and within weeks, he s had to come back with a big package which has been acknowledged by the institute for fiscal studies as being pretty redistributive at targeting poorer incomes, and spending a lot of money. and it seems to me a reverse of the 1970s, where you had the then prime minister jim callahan saying you can t spend your way out of a recession , thatcher living on it, and the tidal waves were moving rightwards in her direction. it seems to me. crosstalk. so, even the party that would normally have argued differently was arguing the same? yeah, yeah. now, whether labour are supple enough to seize that moment is one of the big questions in the coming year or so.
