do you agree the tories did well because they abandoned mrs may's message of change?h that and thatis change? i don't agree with that and that is a curious conclusion for nick timothy, it's they abandoned change but it was the wrong kind of change. they were proposing change ina way change. they were proposing change in a way that concerned the way social care was paid for in the dementia tax, free school lunches for kids, proposing change to the triple lock on pensions, they were proposing changes but people didn't like the changes proposed. i think what he fails to face up to is the fa ct what he fails to face up to is the fact the conservatives went into that election convinced they were going to win, taking the public for granted, it was the election nobody needed, apart from mrs may wanting to increase her majority and she took the country for granted and the election for granted. what might be interesting is so far we don't know what theresa may stands for. she hasn't defined herself, she didn't define herself at the start and maybe some of these columns might s

mrs may was asked by the bbc in an interview week, "is it your intention to lead the tory party into for the long term." it's difficult to predict what's — what's ahead. but you don't want her to lead the party into the next election. i feel that there were mistakes made in the general election campaign. there was a focus very much on one person, which i think is a mistake, because i think the conservative party is a team. there were mistakes in the way the manifesto was handled. but no leader wants to put a date on their departure in advance. david cameron found this difficult when he said that he was going to go — what we thought was going to be halfway through a parliament, towards 2018—19 — because then you are sort of signing off on your own political mortality. she's done more than that, hasn't she? she's said whatever she might have felt a few months ago, in immediate aftermath of the election, when she was saying to the party "look, i accept that it was my fault, and i have to build bridges, be more broad and consensual and open." she is now saying, "stuff you, i can carry on

it is coming back to something about red lines which mrs may set out in a conference speech last years that we would have nothing more to do with the european court of justice... do with the european court of justice... a lot of people felt very strongly about it. but that is the many brexiteers an absolute plank... it is everything for them and we have somebody who used to be a legal adviser to the government saying that cannot happen if we wish to have a close relationship with the customs union. it is very simple. it isa customs union. it is very simple. it is a legal relationship. what we are asking the eu to do, which it cannot do, is create a new tier of lawjust for the uk. they are saying what are we getting out of this? what are we getting in return? nothing that is going to benefit the eu. the interpretation was quite simple that the power of law and lawmaking was handed back to the british court. absolutely beautiful. the problem is, you either get out or you are in. you cannot create a new kind of eu citizen who lives in the uk, under two differentjurisdictions at the same

i think mrs may has got it absolutely right, that she is trying to get it into the middle ground here privileged sectors. it goes from journalists and presenters, all the way up. it is a big perception issue and it will play out in the next general election. we have got to rattle on through. also in the sunday times, the sas to join donald trump's afghan troop surge. i know this is your bag. what is the story all about? what it isn't about is what it should have been about. they are saying they are going into scope whether britain willjoin the american surge. britain certainly will, with only a few hundred, maximum 1000 personnel all told to help out in this surge. this is nonsense. the sas are in and out in very small numbers. they will have ke pt very small numbers. they will have kept a very small numbers. they will have kepta grip very small numbers. they will have kept a grip on this. what i wish they had gone into, which is where your paper has been absolutely first rate, market leader, great friend of ours, writing fantastic pieces, the rules of the great game in afghanistan ar

i guess mrs may work like to get some kind of undertaking from the japanese government that they willnot... to keep japanese companies here, and there is so much a government can do to control a private compa ny‘s behaviour. she is sunny petite tight rope to tread. —— she is on a pretty tight rope to tread. she has the domestic political audience to satisfy in the meantime. she needs to make sure that she isn't seen to be going against eu rules about negotiating with third countries on an independent basis. a funny irony about this, as he said last month, the european union struck its own trades deal with japan. ultimately that's a deal the uk will be locked out of and we now go to japan saying that we want something similar. is there a willingness injapan to grant that? i thinkjapan, there a willingness injapan to grant that? ithinkjapan, because the uk and japanese relationships are very good, and strategically quite important, so i thinkjapan would like to do the best it can to support the uk government. but the trade and investment with the eu, the remainder of the eu, so to speak
