one thing to be set on the campaign trail and then when you do get into a position of power, there are enormous response abilities that come with that. i was listening to tony benn and i was thinking it is no bad thing that somebody is willing to change their mind, once given the data. that is what grown—up leaders are meant to do and we see what happens when they don�*t. so, perhaps this is herfirst foot forward in taking the country in a very pragmatic direction, however which way she chooses to do it, i think it will come as a massive relief to people to hear there is a plan effort. relief to people to hear there is a plan effort-— plan effort. the daily express in the mirror— plan effort. the daily express in the mirror taken _ plan effort. the daily express in the mirror taken a _ plan effort. the daily express in the mirror taken a different - plan effort. the daily express in i the mirror taken a different stance on the idea that she will have a plan within a week. the left—leaning merit says trust wakes a week for the crisis plan but there will be pressure on her to come up with something next few days and we know from the articles reading tomorrow on the front pages that the minds of a probable cabinet are very focused right now on this.—

11:40 pm
bet, to say she invest in growth, but she believes in taxes coming down, she even says not to look at the country through the prism of distribution, she was presented with a national insurance cat that she very much and obviously favours the wealthy, the more highly paid, the people who pay more tax and who will benefit the most from this national insurance cat, she sticks by that, and again i am not personally a fan of the getting wealthier but i respect somebody who lays out a plan and then effectively, it is going to be given, i suppose, and administration, she is going to have administration, she is going to have a mandate to pull these levers. if she gets it right, she will be seen as an economic hero. if she gets it wrong, election day is only two short years away.— wrong, election day is only two short years away. wrong, election day is only two short ears awa. ., , ~ ., , short years away. tony, we know she has been the — short years away. tony, we know she has been the last _ short years away. tony, we know she has been the last eight _ short years away. tony, we know she has been the last eight weeks - has been the last eight weeks appealing for the 200,000 or so tory members, she has now got to appeal to the whole nation, what do you of

11:43 pm
argue that it is becoming very unreliable economy and i don�*t know what is coming next and they have enormous overheads and possibly debts because of what was incurred in previous weeks months. however, i guess it�*s a call to answer when you seat on the front page of the telegraph, they will have to redress that and to be seen as thinking of their customers.
