Her speech was a repetitive use of the word "growth" and was otherwise content free - no detail on the how. Except possibly on illegal immigration where she committed Braverman to legislate so that no European Court could override a British court. GET ON WITH IT.

I didn’t listen. She’s toast anyway.

In the intervening years, you have elected a local MP who owes you both industry and judgment - that is, they don’t just work hard, they work intelligently based on circumstances as they unfold. If you believe the party of government has reneged on its promises then the general election is your opportunity to have your say. The date of that election is in 2024, or sooner *if* the government chooses.

We may well not elect a President, and indeed the manifesto isn’t legally enforceable, however it makes it a rudderless Government. The vast majority of MPs wanted someone else, and none stood on her “policy platform”.
