The Number 10 spokesman at the Lobby briefing of political hacks this afternoon:
“[The PM] is very clear, he is very focused on the job. I would refer you back to his previous language that he will continue to lead the government throughout this Parliament and beyond. He’s got a huge amount of work to do, the government’s got a huge amount of work to do… we’ve set out a significant programme of domestic reforms…”
A receipt worth keeping…
Speaking at his speech on how to achieve “progressive capitalism” Wes Streeting fired a dig and Andy Burnham:
“Bond markets are not bond villains and fiscal rules matter.”
