We spoke to Peter Kyle, who’s the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, and began by asking if Sir Keir’s speech set out a positive vision of Britain or only talked about the hard graft ahead.We inherited some issues that were much, much worse than we expected. We knew it’d be bad. It was worse. So actually, what Keir did today was a really clever thing and it was a smart thing and it was what the public wanted from us.
You’ve just seen Keir explain in stark terms why we’re making those hard decisions, including the winter fuel crisis. And he did so with compassion and humanity in the way he did it. And conference applauded him for it.We’ve talked about some of the difficult choices ahead, as he put it. Let’s talk about the joy, because it was there in the peroration. New homes, new towns, new hospitals, roads and schools.
