Debate on the Address

They said, ““Don't worry about the vision not being in the conference speech; you'll get it in the comprehensive spending review and the pre-Budget report.”” Then we had flight tax, inheritance tax and non-dom tax; it was our vision, not his. Finally, they said we will see it in the Queen's Speech. Yet again, people are asking, ““Is that it?”” Yet another relaunch, yet another rehash of short-term gimmicks and the same old thinking: top-down targets, central control and a hyperactive state to try to run everybody's lives. The truth from this Queen's Speech is that the Prime Minister has nothing new to offer.
