He can really weave the big ambitious vision with clear detailed steps of what needs to be done. It's a rare and impressive talent.

So much so he *almost* makes #gordonbrown looks like the warm up

#ConsParty talking again about raising threshold of or abolishing #InheritanceTax again, #GeorgeOsborne & #DavidCameron both announced plans to raise threshold to £1m or abolish it, last time the threshold was raised was on 06/04/2009 by #ChancelloroftheExchequer #AlistairDarling, #PM #GordonBrown.

I've been in Restaurants with no prices and dishes that aren't available because ingredients weren't available....there's a strong echo to this speech.

#GordonBrown "we can be an innovation nation" washes out his gold reserve sell off & introducing "light touch banking monitoring"...prior to crash.

Talk of racists he agrees there isn't much choice on terms given the behaviour. On Northern Ireland, he's no better informed than #BBCLauraK on what's going on. Fingers crossed them. He speaks of honesty and I instantly picture #GordonBrown now #BBCLaurak gushing over how much nothing he managed.

A question on #GordonBrown tabled by Mike Wood on 28-08-2026 has been answered by Mark Ferguson. https://questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-questions/detail/2026-08-28/20734

This sums it up.

#GordonBrown very impressive on this, #FrancisFukuyama* not so much.

* FF has spent 3 decades explaining what The End of History is about, but more pertinently, what it wasn't about. 🙄
