george osborne, who championed the northern powerhouse in government, may be disappointed.want to make sure that our country is going across the nation, notjust in london and the south—east, notjust putting all of our bets on the city of london, and that means investing in the transport of the north, and we are publishing a comprehensive transport strategy that includes faster routes between manchester and leeds. but the father of the northern powerhouse says electrification of that line isn't everything. i kind of sympathise with many other council leaders in the north who are saying this sort of thing, as they have done before when previous plans for a electrification have been delayed. i think they are being a little bit too emotional and that they are probably not focusing on the real substantive matters. the electrification issue over the pennines is not really... it is a bit of a red herring. the key to the speed is the straightness of the line. jim o'neill resigned last year. tonight, the former goldman sachs executive tells newsnight he believes that theresa may's f

she was famously described by george osborne, the former chancellor who likes to eat his political revengeg" three days after that pretty disastrous election result. well, zombie or not, theresa may is still with us and has managed to beat the likes of sir alec douglas home and the duke of devonshire in the battle not to be one of britain's shortest serving prime ministers. as she packs the walking sticks and insect repellent for a summer holiday with husband philip in switzerland and italy, we'll be asking was everyone wrong about mrs may's staying power? do the conservatives really want her to remain in post until the end of the brexit process, that's march 2019? or will events catch up with mrs may, meaning she doesn't have time to "clean up the mess she created", as she told her cabinet colleagues was her desire. and what aboutjeremy corbyn and his plea for the pm to simply stand aside? with his take on mrs may's long and tricky summer ahead here's our policy editor, chris cook. the conservative party candidate...

mr mitchell, apparently told other tory mps that mrs may was dead in the water, echoing what george osborner the election. totally u n — osborne said after the election. totally un— suppressed glee, actually. it is interesting that so many cabinet ministers are openly questioning her policies. boris johnson saying that they must lift the cap on public service pay. johnson saying that they must lift the cap on public service paylj just wanted to say that there is this talk of this sort of thing and how it could all change before the autumn meeting, before the autumn conference. but then you have david liddington in this saying that it is all too much sun and too much press echo. —— prosecco. all too much sun and too much press echo. -- prosecco. the only thing in her favour is a terrible job and thatis her favour is a terrible job and that is why borisjohnson nor david davis have openly campaigned against her. they do not want the job at the mosman. what is this manoeuvring they keep on talking about? that is gossip that goes on in all political parties. nobody has come out and said they wan

policy introduced when george osborne was chancellor and maintained under philip hammond has been toerity measures designed to reduce the budget deficit, reduce spending. since 2012 annual rises in public sector pay have effectively been capped at 1% for millions of workers. for that there was a pay freeze as well. the problem is no we are in an era of rising inflation, at 2.9% at the moment, —— now we are in an era of rising inflation. in the wake of the election result, the government is pretty well aware this is an unpopular policy, and so we have this line up of senior ministers, michael gove, jeremy hunt, boris johnson, ministers, michael gove, jeremy hunt, borisjohnson, or suggesting 110w hunt, borisjohnson, or suggesting now is the time to relax this policy and let public sector workers have a little more. if they manage to do that, it is more pay for everybody, how can they afford it? everything has a price, doesn't it? the options are you could increase taxes, and thatis are you could increase taxes, and that is one way potentially of increasing revenue, but there are proble

his tory successors david cameron and george osborne revered his political judgment so much they callednth on the election result. was there anything about it which made you question what you thought you knew about politics? erm, yes. in the sense that, and notjust this election result, but brexit, the trump victory in the us, what's happening all over europe. did you see any of the other two coming, by the way? nope. so you've had three surprises? exactly. i feel a bit better. for most of my political life, i've been saying, i think this is the right way to go, and what's more it's the only way to win an election. i have to qualify that now. i have to say, no, i think it's possible you end up with jeremy corbyn as prime minister. so you except that he could possibly win on the platform he is on? i think you can't rule anything out in today's politics. but it doesn't stop me believing that if we deliver brexit and at the same time are delivering the programme that he has at the moment, unreconstructed, unchanged, we will be in for a very very difficult time as a country. i still believe

years ago and i‘ve spent much of that time debating with people like ed balls and gordon brown, george osborne economic competence determines people‘sliving standards, determines our ability to fund our health service, schools, police and the rest of it. what has happened in the last two years is, it‘s gone away. you saw what happened in the general election. the conservatives campaigned without any numbers and the labour party campaigned with numbers that didn‘t add up. we in turn, were praised by the economist, by the institutional of fiscal studies, for basic economic literacy and competence. and i believe that will resurface as an absolute essential issue and i want us to be at the heart of all that. but in my view, the world isn‘tjust about economics and making numbers add up. that is important, but actually i came into politics as a radical and a reformer and i want to put up the centre of what i do, addressing some of the inequalities that this figure british societies. and i think that can be done, i think it can be done because i think at heart the british public are humane, tolerant
