過去簡單式

So it was pretty precarious situation and, you know, to me and my colleagues, what Boris offered was this unique combination of qualities.

First of all, probably the most trusted senior politicians early in our party, on the issue of Brexit, which is the defining issue of the day.

And I think everything that we've seen from his election as prime minister has confirmed that that you know, in the way he's gone about it.

No one, I think, is in any doubt about his commitment to deliver Brexit by the end of October and to fight hard to get us a good deal and, if not to prepare us properly to leave without.

But beyond that, you know, what also attracted us is that you said that the newer generation focused on domestic issues.

It was his track record as a liberal conservative governing from the center with an inspiring platform of ideas around infrastructure around education, around spreading opportunity on that dynamic alignment between free enterprise, economy and funding.

Public service is that's what particularly excited me about him.

We saw that when he was mayor in London, and that's what we I think, have been doing at a pace since he was elected in the government came together at the end of July.

You've seen that relentless focus on people's priorities.

Public service is the economy, eso everything Thus far, I think, you know, has been as we expected.

The other thing we said in the article was, of course, you know he's a proven winner on Dhe.

Whether you judge that by two mayoral elections at a time when the observers were holding 17 points behind Labor in London at that time, Boris went on to win also the referendum that no one thought could be one he led and and one.

And, you know, we're expecting a general election this year.

It's certainly something that we welcome and are looking forward to.

And I have every confidence that Boris is brilliantly place to lead us to victory when that comes on.

Do you think before, before Brexit after Brexit obviously adverts are telling us October 31st we are leaving.

Some people in Parliament seem less sure about.

Yeah, well, that Parliament is obviously, you know, is trying to do what it can to frustrate our us in our aim of delivering Brexit.

You know, those battles and tussles are going to keep happening over the coming weeks, and I think we'll just watch that.

You know what we do have this slightly bizarre situation of a leader of the opposition just unwilling to to do that page.

I mean, you know, they're single purpose, what they're paid to do by the taxpayers to oppose and try and replace the government.

We've got the leader of the opposition just unwilling to do that for all the reasons that we know.

So it doesn't seem that we're gonna have the election, you know, in the in the immediate future.

But I think when it does come where we're very well placed, I think people are responding very well.

I certainly am finding that when I'm out knocking doors, hopefully you are as well.

You know, people, whatever direction they've come from on the Brexit issue clearly are seeing a government that's got grip.

That's got determination that is, on one hand, focusing on Brexit, on the other hand, focusing on things that they care about like the n hs, keeping them safe, getting money into schools on day, See on the other side a leader of the opposition whose please just not fit to lead, not able to make decisions.

The prime minister's way of communicating cuts through.

So I said, when the election comes, we should be in very good shape.

Now you're one of the reasons I wanted to talk to you on.

I'm sure we'll get back to Brexit fairly repeatedly.

Not least one of the questions start, but one of the three wasn't able to talk to you.

I mean, so you are not regional growth is now suitable Molar age.

And as as chief secretary Treasury, you are innocent of leading position Thio.

But also you know you're the MP for a seat up in up in Yorkshire.

More pertinently, you know, back in 2016 very shortly after the election, you wrote a very good report for the conservatives.

Fits sensible policy Studies called about Call the Freeport's opportunity, arguing that reports were a great way to help the left behind regions on Dhe.

Now, of course, you're in a position t help drive that through.

And any in the middle of that you'd have ended up as a local government minister again in the department deals without me.

Is it that is not accidental through line of your career?

Or is that actually something that you is that something that's gonna quit called toe?

I think I think that I mean, that's something I've come to through my experiences, especially more experiences in politics.

As you said, the privilege of representing a northern seat and ultimately around the Cabinet table, there's generally a A small number of people who represent northern seats also represent a rural seat as well, which gives me a slightly different slant on on how things are happening down in Whitehall.

On also have a brilliant conservative mayor up near me and T side Ben How Chin and we have a string of marginal seats that I campaign in Darling turn, Bishop, Auckland, Stockton, South medals for South.

So, like my politics has got informed by that experience, and it was it's very clear, you know, partly because of the Brexit referendum, but just more generally, when you look at the data that the growth that the country has enjoyed over a period of time has not been evenly shared.

I think it was just a report out today or yesterday which again could prove the point that you're in London and the Southeast.

We have one of the most prosperous and economically dynamic part of of all of Europe.

But we also have several of the most unequal parts in Europe, and the gap between London on our other regions is wider than the gap between capital cities and regions in almost any other large developed economy.

I mean, that's not just great, because everyone deserves a chance, a TTE that at that same prosperity, it's also just not great for us politically.

If you believe as I think everyone in this room would believe in, CPS and Catholics believe, you know, we believe in a free enterprise economy, right?

We think that is the best way to raise people's living standards to pay for the things we care about.

If people start to feel that that system isn't working for them, that they're sitting up in Teesside or wherever looking down at London and the Southeast.

All that sitting in a rural area, looking down at cities and they say, Well, hang on.

There will be much more open to experimenting in quite radical way with changing the system.

So I think you know, both just because it's economically wrong but also politically wrong.

We need to find a wayto get grow to every part of the country and, you know, way talk about free ports, and we can talk about that again.

That's one idea that we can use after way get Brexit done to drive growth in places like South Hampton where I'm from, which is a port city.

Teesside being another obvious one opportunity zones is another idea that we've discussed, Rob but also infrastructure.

And I've just got you have come here from North Allerton in North Yorkshire.

It took me just over two hours in the train, trundling along the trans panel and express That journey is about 60 odd miles.

It takes about the same time to get here from London, and that journey is 200 something miles right, like you know, that is simply not sustainable.

way to think I'm hearing here is that you're gonna cancel it.

What you're hearing is someone who is very, very committed to northern powerhouse rail and that whole agenda and there's different arguments of different parts of infrastructure.

But I find a very compelling one, actually.

You know the thesis in George Osborne's first speech about the northern powerhouse, you know, he talked about the kind of unique collection of big cities we have in the North Manchester being at the heart of that, but yet they are very poorly connected.

And if you take the central line, those of those of you that have come up from London or familiar with it, it's about 40 41 miles from end to end.

But all this is completely communicable within that.

If you if you did the same thing and created that same commuting, 40 mile central line type transport system around Manchester, you'd pick up several 1,000,000 people.

Now, if that was one economic functional area, it would it would look like Tokyo essentially was the point that he'd made.

And that's what you will get to drive up productivity.

Andan sure that economic growth is more evenly shared.

So you know that that's the solution that we must do.

And Prime Ministers said that that will be a priority for him.

The leads to Manchester Train Line is something that we've already essentially green lighted and flesh out.

You know, does that represent a rural area and brought brand is equally as important as road and rail infrastructure, and we're gonna be doing that as well.

You mentioned earlier that you come from Southampton, but you also come from a HS family.

I think both of your parents were just workers.

They started working a pharmacy with a sort of pleased or puzzled or incredibly depressed when they said, You know what, Mom?

Dad, I really want to do is become a conservative MP.

So that was I didn't grow up in a political household.

But, you know, I've had a career in business before that, but even that they didn't fully understand.

I mean, you know, they're classic Indian immigrant parents, you know, They go do you go to a degree that leads to a very specific job on then you have security of income.

So that was their kind of driving mindset.
