but an interesting headline, i will run the economy like thatcher if i win says rishi sunak.rishi sunak's leadership — rachel? this is rishi sunak's leadership pitch _ rachel? this is rishi sunak's leadership pitch to _ rachel? this is rishi sunak's leadership pitch to the - rachel? this is rishi sunak's - leadership pitch to the conservative campaign and he is trying to take this very cautious view and always seem so far policy wise from the candidates on who's going to cut taxes and is going to cut them the fastest and rishi sunak is standing alone in this, he stands alone at the moment and sing that actually, this is what we should do. he has stepped down as chancellor, he has held the purse strings for a while and things are slowing down and he uses the quote that the country needs to earn the money before he can spend it and i think that's going to be a big focus of his campaign and its responsible way to handle the cost of living crisis rather than just this reactionary cut taxes and he is liking this to thatcher, but some parts of the tory party, whether that fits well

i do believe that what i'm proposing economically is what i would describe as common—sense thatcherismcountry faces right now is inflation and we must get a grip of inflation now, and not risk making the problem worse. repeatedly saying his party had to tell the truth, the former chancellor said what his rival liz truss is proposing — cutting tax by borrowing more — was not moral. after pledging earlier to put a sunak government onto a crisis footing from day one, he also outlined plans to tackle nhs backlogs. we will take the best of our covid response and apply those lessons to clearing the massive backlogs in the nhs. but team truss has a different truth. the truth is that we're in a situation now where we're getting no growth, if not negative growth in the economy, and liz's plans, which include a cut to corporation tax, which at the moment is higher than france's — just let that sink in, two years after brexit — is basically about the rounded idea of growing the economy so that tax revenues will increase over time, and then you can get the public services we all want. she voted re

once they pass you need to talk about margaret thatcher. suppose margaret thatcher stayed home to watch her get not that there's anything wrong with that. it's a very noble profession think of the difference in england, in the world. she partnered with ronald reagan. they did incredible things. and, of course, claire lewis booth. she was the age of my great-grandmother, probably your great, great grandmother because you're younger, unbelievable the things she did back in when women were not at the party. we have big picture here of our office. it's a 1944 republican national convention. she's like this. she's giving the keynote speech. she lows into roseau, president was up and said you lied us into war. its military family. she was so ahead of her times, a congresswoman when there were like ten. she was editor of "vanity fair." she was basically homeschooled. her father was an itinerant musician. he left the family before she was grown so the move from town to town. she had four years of formal schooling and what an incredible career, a wr

he is a former aides, a prime minister, margaret thatcher, and is the director of the margaret thatcher center for freedom of the heritage foundation. he joins us now from washington via skype. there now burst on some lives devised another day and not only that, but hitting back with some define firings of his own. would you guess that on wednesday morning for screening. extraordinary. i think, you know, 24 hours here are some of the most, you know, a story scenes we've seen in british politics for many, many decades with the prime minister. literally. i think on the ropes, you know, clinging on, you know, by his 5 finger tips at the moment, so we'll have to see what, what actually unfolds of the course of the next day. we'll say for the private, it certainly is defiant, insisting that he will remain as as p. m. but, you know, the, the wave of resignation we've seen from members of the cabinet. and we'll say from about a quarter, i think of the it is a junior ministers as well. this puts the price under tremendous a prussia. and i have to say that what is unfolding right now with regard

the deposition of margaret thatcher and totally different circumstances. her integrity wasn't a question in her case, but she was deposed by her colleagues and not just the, the party, but the country as a whole was deeply divided about that. it did quite a lot. it had to happen, i was in the cabinet that helped deliver that at that time. so i didn't regret what we did. but i also conscious of the fact you create a trauma which can last and concrete other problems. by if there are still a large numbers of people who believe that an unfair thing has happened, so you can't rush such, it can only happen gradually and is, and, but do remember compare johnson with trump. trump, last a national election, refused to go know, organized, or was involved in a riot, the capital johnson, with all his terrible faults which i'm not personally tending to try and conceal. at the end of the day, he went quietly, there were no riots. there was no people marching out of goblins to protect them. he simply overnight said ok. i'm issuing a statement saying i'm stepping down. yo

the last, well, the last time that happened was to resume the time before that was margaret thatcher, said the conservative party does have a tradition. unlike the labor part to other parties in britain, if it comes to a judgement that prime minister has become a permanent liability rather than an asset. it can get rid of that leader very loosely as it did on this occasion. well, you say very loosely, i would say they took that time over this. perhaps the most damning comment came last november from lord evans, chairman of the committee on standards in public life about johnson's attempt to change the disciplinary procedure for m. p. 's. while one of these was under investigation, evan evans called it a very damaging moment for parliament and for public standards. and he gave this unprecedented warning. he said there was a danger that britain could slip into being a corrupt country. again, the conservative party looked away seriously. the blind eye has been staggering. you your title to put it in those terms, but you're using nice color, full theatrical language to master the fact tha

and the government, whoever's the goodnight was in margaret thatcher. government for the full period of her time. and some of the time i disagree strongly in what she was day. if you feel strongly on a particular matter for which you have the departmental responsibility, then you resign. but all the time when the cabinet reaches a decision, that decision will be presented as a unanimous decision of the cabinet. because those who were in a minority willing to go along with it. so you're telling me that that's what happens in any democratic country at any time. and it couldn't happen, otherwise the government's would be collapsing every 6 months. but you're telling me now that there's no need for a clean outside, never be old official. is there any i mean out of the party if i'm from zack, a light to restore public? well, you're using nice neutral phrases like johnson's acolytes. there are some members of his team who are not my flavor of the month as it were, who i hope, who services i hope will not be required by the new prime minister. and i'm not going to name names in this particu

margaret thatcher was brought down by her cabinet. it may turn out to be the case that is the achilles' heel the boris johnson experiences. this is his weak point, that his cabinet will no longer tolerate him being prime minister and will step in and intervene and effectively remove him. the question is, some of those resigning are going to be leaving leadership challenges. rishi sunak talked about this could be his last ministerial post. he also faced his own challenges as a result of his rich spouse and the scandal that surrounded that. maybe he is going to step away from government. we will see what happens. kriti: guy johnson, that leadership potential is what will keep a close eye on. thank you. we step back into the volatility. that coverage all coming up next. this is bloomberg. ♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ real luxury, real thrill. feel the rush of performance at the lexus golden opportunity sales event. kriti: this is "bloomberg markets." i am greedy group to with jon erlichman -- i am kriti gupta with jon erlichman. vince cignarella brexit do
