Am just wondering, but ‘technocrats’?
This Tory fustercluck?
Struggling to see where any expertise, across any of the departments they acclaim to head, could be classified in that context

Middle England seems to love austerity as long as someone less "deserving" appears to be getting fucked more. Hunt can portray himself as the parsimonious Chancellor, balancing the books, tough on "scroungers", stability in time of great global uncertainty, steady hand on the tiller etc etc
I don't think anyone is suggesting that this thread, forum or indeed city is going to be swayed by the pitch!

Do we think that Tory HQ will eventually try and spin this as "an end to Punch and Judy politics"? Paint themselves as the boring technocrats to get us out of the crisis (of their own making).
