the sense that actually, even second generation immigrants, there was a choice to come here and there is an acceptance and, unlike lots of european countries, you can thrive in britain if you are an ethnic minority, you can belong to the establishment, as rishi sunak absolutely does. we simply cannot afford to be a low growth country. i just don t think this is at all reflective of the fact that her premiership has been a totalfailure. it means lower taxes. do you know what, she has now got to carry on with the rest of her life, having been the shortest serving prime minister in history. so, ijust think politicians that don t show a bit of humility afterwards, really, you know, the message is quite insufferable. i want to pay tribute to my predecessor, liz truss. she was not wrong to want to improve growth in this country. you see, that s classy. in his leadership campaign, the reason he didn t get there, largely in my view, was because he did not tell that positive story about growth,
where his predecessor had been. let s go back to uk politics. rishi sunak has been clear that the uk economy faces profound challenges, he says. and i want to look at one issue that he and others have raised this week brexit. as he took office on tuesday, rishi sunak turned to the conservatives election manifesto of 2019. i will deliver on its promise, building an economy that embraces the opportunities of brexit. mr sunak wants to build the economy, but there s no shortage of people who say brexit isn t helping do that. brexit is and was and will be a total disaster. brexit is doing the economy real damage. brexit as negotiatedj is frankly a disaster. rishi sunak would not agree that brexit is a disaster,
building an economy that embraces the opportunities of brexit. mr sunak wants to build the economy, but there s no shortage of people who say brexit isn t helping do that. brexit is and was and will be a total disaster. brexit is doing the economy real damage. brexit as negotiatedj is frankly a disaster. rishi sunak would not agree that brexit is a disaster, and however it is described, based on available evidence, this is what we know about brexit and the economy. in 2020, then prime minister boris johnson agreed a trade deal with the eu in which the uk left the single market and the customs union. mrjohnson saw it as. a deal which will, if anything, allow our companies and exporters to do even more business with our european friends. that has not happened yet. this is the nonpartisan institute for fiscal studies.

early the next year, prime minister david cameron called a referendum on brexit. my recommendation is clear. he wanted to stay in the eu. but rishi sunak didn t. he wanted out. the uk wanted out, too. david cameron would resign. six years later, rishi sunak was chancellor. he d been loyal to borisjohnson, until the scandals became too much. he resigned saying he didn t agree with mrjohnson s approach. a summer leadership contest followed. time and again, he contrasted his message with his opponent s. i ve said the things that i believe our country needs to hear. he lost. but liz truss would come and go. and now rishi sunak is prime minister.
