PM Johnson at the Conservative Party Conference - After Brexit

BBC News: Reports on PM Boris Johnson's speech at the Conservative Party Conference, the PM stated, " the UK was heading towards a higher wage, higher productivity and lower tax economy. "

Lets Get Real:

The speech was the right length, 45 minutes as reported by the BBC,  not like the War and Peace of Sir Keir Starmer at the Labour Party Conference, it was a speech that was made to make you feel good about the future, and that the Conservative Party cared about every area of the UK being up lifted, with higher wages ( who thought a Conservative PM would say that ), and high productivity within business. There were jokes at the expense of the Cabinet and Captain Hindsight ( Sir Keir Starmer ).   It showed in a subtle way how clever our PM is, and well read and few references to the 19th Century, that always good down well with a Conservative Party conference. It was once researched that the best year to be alive was 1880, the days of Empire of course.  The Conservative Party has really changed, it has stolen some of Labour's or the left view of the role of Government within society, lets see if the PM can be successful, those poll leads cannot last forever, this blog recalls the troubled early years of the Thatcher Government and how PM Thatcher was saved by the Falklands War, is Aukus a insurance card IN case we get dragged in to  War against China over Taiwan.
