Great to be back from hols to find the green shoots of Compassionate Conservatism sprouting again, thanks to Mr Redwood’s brilliant report. Well, we always said tax cuts were super-popular and deserved to be top of the agenda — and it turns out we were right!
Now it’s just a simple question of translating it all into policy. As a first step we’ve had a team of top lawyers draft Dave’s response, so it’s fully watertight. There’s a new Manifesto Wriggle Room Sub-committee, which is reassuring.
Bit quiet again today, but I reckon there must be something left in Redders we can brief. Everyone seems to have missed the bit in the appendix about reintroducing steam engines, driving over the middle of roundabouts to save time, and deregulating tombolas.
Made a point of telling Gary, our director of comms, that in my view there was a lot of scientific stuff we hadn’t made much of yet. He said: ‘Is it Nanu Nanu technology?’ Then he muttered something about Mr Redwood and ‘bloody Mork and Mindy’.
