my question is not about the pressures right now, it is on liz truss s point that your party, year after year, and you served pretty much all the party leader since the tories have been in charge, has failed to make the arguments for the economy working in a different way. with lower tax and lower regulation. is she right or wrong about that? she is right about the need for a long lower tax, but it rubs up against the reality of two or three years of covid and £a00 billion cost of that, followed by the war and enormous costs on energy and inflation. but her point is about whether the conservatives have lost their mooring. have you moved too far to the left? i am trying to answer that by setting in the international context. whilst i agree with the desire to see a low tax economy, you have to put the building blocks in place first. you have got to have inflation at least,
local civic group health. and bringing local industry back to the small towns give people a sort of sense of geographic mooring. give them places that they can attach themselves to a second homes in their community. i think that is one of the things we are missing in this country. it s just a place for people to find community. it s very hard to find today. is this an outgrowth and an extension of the thinking and introspection that began, for you, with that horrible mass murder at sandy hook elementary school in your state? so, it s true that a lot of these young men, who perpetrate these horrific crimes of mass murder are feeling very alone in the world. they are feeling like they have no connection. i don t want to create the impression that a feeling of loneliness automatically leads to an episode of violence. but it is true that there are more people today that feel a
amongst white men. the other thing is that you feel angry. you feel a sense of rage. why is everybody else seem to be doing well and i feel so terribly about myself? and that pushes people in really dangerous directions. they re trying to find connection. they are trying to find community. they often find it in dangerous places. so, what i am arguing is that we really need to reach out to all these people, many in rural areas, many of them white men, who feel alone, who feel unmoored, and try to rebuild the health of local communities. have a purposeful strategy of rebuilding church health and local civic group health. and bringing local industry back to the small towns give people a sort of sense of geographic mooring. give them places that they can attach themselves to as second homes in their community. i think that is one of the things we are missing in this country. it s just a place for people to find community. it s very hard to find today. is this an outgrowth and an
mooring comes across northern ireland, england and wales, some heavy but it will fizzle out by the end of the night and it will be a windy night but for most not an especially cold one so tomorrow we lose the rain, there will be a lot of dry weather and a mixture of sunshine, bright spells and showers. rain from the west also pushes east and we will see more snow on top of the grampians and highlands, temperatures of 6 10 and as we go through the rest of this week, to the end of the year, it will remain unsettled. thank you, carol, we will see you again shortly. let s take a look at some of today s papers. the mail leads on a conservative mp accusing union leaders of planning a de facto general strike in the new year. it comes after one organisation launched a scheme for activists to get rewards for attending the most picket lines. the daily mirror says two thirds ofjunior doctors
and a north westerly wind will introduce colder air more quickly so we have got a greater chance of seeing some snow showers in the north west of scotland. to the south it is still mild. but that colder air and that western wind coming into scotland and northern ireland will sweep across the whole of the country in time for boxing day. that will mean more widespread wintry showers across scotland and northern ireland and coming into north west england and north wales. snow over the hills and could be some travel disruption in the north west of scotland. further south, fewer showers and more in the way of sunshine but for all of us it s going to feel colder in that wind on monday. then the wind direction changes in the cold air doesn t last too long. from monday into tuesday change to a west to south westerly wind, lifting the temperatures again but bringing mooring. more rain.
