Thomas Felix CreightonHOST
I wonder if I was missing something in trying to listen to more and more of the speech.
Thomas Felix CreightonHOST
This Member of Parliament is the MP for Suffolk Coastal and has been since 2024, which is the very definition of rural England.
Thomas Felix CreightonHOST
I can confirm that directly.
Thomas Felix CreightonHOST
I lived in Suffolk for a year in the 1990s and from my own memory there were pubs.
Michael GoveGUEST
The richer life experience, the broader your education, the more, uh, to go back to what we were just talking about earlier, the more empathetic without losing yourself you are, the better.
Michael GoveGUEST
Um, what is an example of very, very poor gut instinct? If you are the labor minister for the countryside, and you represent the beautiful constituency of Suffolk Coastal, and your first major public pronouncement is to say that people who are in pubs nursing a warm pint with a black Labrador at their feet are representative of far-right ideology, that is an example.
Michael GoveGUEST
[laughs]
Thérèse CoffeyGUEST
And this is the woman who defeated me.

Therese CoffeyGUEST
We've got a new way.
Therese CoffeyGUEST
You know, come back and help us." That seat in Suffolk Coastal, the one I, I did lose, but there the MP is the one who's basically saying, "If you go for a pint with your lab, black lab in front of a warm fire, you're basically a Nazi." I mean, the, and the risk there-
Matt ChorleyHOST
She, she, she didn't say Nazi
Therese CoffeyGUEST
... she didn't say Nazi.
Lucy HarrisGUEST
What is the propensity for risk for the ordinary person when it comes to that next general election? And I think that will dictate just how bad the economy is versus their propensity to risk on who they will vote for next.
Lucy HarrisGUEST
And if, uh, the Conservatives can, and they have, put forward a very, um, uh, tight plan on how they are going to manage the economy, I think there is a possibility that it tips slightly over in sort of marginal seats such as Suffolk Coastal, from where I'm from, uh, back into the Conservatives' hands.
Lucy HarrisGUEST
Um, so I think it's all down to how people are feeling about risk.
Lucy HarrisGUEST
And another thing I'd like to just mention is, um, I think Baroness Finn was talking about it earlier, is what is the objective of these quangos? And quite frankly, the growth duty that Rishi put forward before he left office, I think was a really sort of the start of really getting quangos in the right direction.

Peter NorthGUEST
So he's carved that up.
Peter NorthGUEST
I don't think that works quite as well in places like Herefordshire and South, where you're from, Cornwall, and what's it, South Yorkshire, Waveney District, where they're very quiet at the moment, Ellie Jones and people like that.
Peter NorthGUEST
Where it's farming communities that are struggling with the cost of living and want local economies.
Peter NorthGUEST
So all political parties in a first-past-the-post system are coalitions.
