Adam LawrenceHOST
And then you've got a problem behind that, that really, when it comes to government, government probably has a duty to be at the top of the Laffer curve, the most effective tax rate.
Adam LawrenceHOST
which you very, very rarely hear people like Andrew Griffith, the Institute for Economic Affairs and the likes of that talk about.
Adam LawrenceHOST
They just rumble on with their ideology of what if taxes lower, then there'll be more economic growth aside from anything else.
Adam LawrenceHOST
OK, we do need to worry about where that growth goes, probably apart from anything else.
James HealeGUEST
He actually sort of seemed to me to return to the traditional successful model of PMQs.
James HealeGUEST
which was basically pointing out about Coney Bay Knox's greatest weaknesses, which is her party's record in government, noting, of course, the timing of Liz Truss's second book, which we eagerly await, talking about their record with the mini-budget, which is about the shadow chancellor, Andrew Griffith, and I thought overall made a fairly reasonable case for why he was doing this now.
Tim ShipmanHOST
Well, we'll draw a discreet veil for now over the levels of excitement about Liz Truss's first book.
Tim ShipmanHOST
Second book.
Ed CampbellHOST
And this is kind of the key bit.
Ed CampbellHOST
So the question becomes, did Boris Johnson know about these allegations and appoint him to a ministerial role and deputy chief whip?
Sophie GarradHOST
I don't think Boris Johnson would do that.
Sophie GarradHOST
Do
8 MINS LATER
Ed CampbellHOST
one of
Milo EdwardsHOST
the 62 people who resigned.
Milo EdwardsHOST
So that was across kind of ministerial rules.
Sophie GarradHOST
So 62 people resigned because of this about Boris Johnson? Yeah.
Marc SidwellHOST
Uh, or perhaps even going back to Cameron as well a little bit, uh, and say, "We are under new management now." And it was interesting, Andy Haldane writing today, uh, in the FT was saying, "Well, you know, that, that old, uh, Conservative administration at, at the last election, you couldn't draw a..." A, a vape wrapper between, um, the Labour and Conservative economic manifestos, really.
Marc SidwellHOST
But he was saying that now, if you look at it, you've got, uh, Andy Burnham, who's very much sort of 1950s state socialism, or some would say 1970s model, uh, versus what looks like a sort of return to the 1980s, or at least talking about that from Kemi Badenoch and Andrew Griffith.
Marc SidwellHOST
Do you think that's, uh, convincing that they can, they can reinvent themselves in that way?
David FrostGUEST
I mean, I think they have to try-
David FrostGUEST
So I'm, I'm encouraged.
David FrostGUEST
I mean, don't get me wrong.
David FrostGUEST
I think, you know, it is obviously better that, that Kemi and Andrew Griffith and others are saying these sort of things.
David FrostGUEST
But I guess the message is they just need to go further.
Patrick KiddHOST
And some friends of mine who...
Patrick KiddHOST
We're very attuned to politics, but we're sort of wondering, shouldn't she be letting Andrew Griffith sort of cut his teeth, get people to know him a bit better? I think, as she is the one who is going to have to be dismantling John Healy's budget, it's good that she is setting up the path.
Patrick KiddHOST
I just didn't really see the point of having this presentation yesterday, and really all eyes are just on next Wednesday and what's going to happen there.
Gavin MegawHOST
Well, I guess if we take a step back, what they're trying to do is to get ahead of it, aren't they? And trying to set the lines off a tack for the day itself, the budget day itself.
Sam CoatesHOST
But John Healy is on minus 11.
Sam CoatesHOST
And Geese fan Andrew Griffith is also on minus 11 for the Tories.
Sam CoatesHOST
So there you go, guys.
Sam CoatesHOST
You're lining up in the starting blocks.
Angela RaynerSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
then we'll refuse their access to the DVLA, which means they won't be able to find the motorists in the first place to charge them for the parking, so it will wreck their business model if they don't comply with the code.
Tom ClaiborneCORRESPONDENT
The Conservatives have criticised the government for freezing maximum fines at £100 and not reducing them, but Shadow Chancellor Andrew Griffith tells me these measures are a step in the right direction.
Andrew GriffithSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Many constituents often find themselves on the receiving end of what looks like unreasonable behaviour from private car parking operators.
Andrew GriffithSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So any code of practice that's going to improve that situation will be welcomed by many.
Scarlett MaguireGUEST
I
James HealeGUEST
was going to say on this point about the Tories versus reform, it's quite interesting that I interviewed Andrew Griffith for the magazine, and he was very much emphasising a traditional fiscal hawk message.
James HealeGUEST
He's talking about for every pound they make in public service cuts, they want to have 50p go back into debt reduction.
James HealeGUEST
And I do think the budget will be an interesting point, not just for Labour and the Conservatives, but a battle on the right.
James HealeGUEST
Robert Jenrick is... very much taking his keys from Jordan Bardella in France, J.D. Vance in America.
James HealeGUEST
And he very much sees the battle as being in kind of provincial England, the North and the Midlands.
James HealeGUEST
That is a very different offer to the South, which Andrew Griffiths' policy and Kevin Badenoch's conference speech seem tailor-made for.
James HealeGUEST
So I do wonder if there's something in the whole Robert Colville point about regionalization, which is that you'll see a different battle in the Southwest to the Southeast, the Northwest to the Northeast.
Ruth FoxHOST
The other thing I think that came out, though, at conferences, and it sort of reinforces her position, is that it's not obvious that the front bench behind her is that strong.
Mark D'ArcyHOST
In particular, one of the people who bombed at the party conference appears to have been the Shadow Chancellor, Andrew Griffith.
Mark D'ArcyHOST
A much mocked speech.
Mark D'ArcyHOST
I mean, these things aren't in Super Bowl conference speeches.
