Will be writing (much) more about this later, but today really was a huge moment in terms of competing visions of what the British state/economy looks like (1/?)
The @sajidjavid speech, for example, represented a genuine departure not just from the austerity period, but almost 40 years of state infrastructure investment (or rather lack of it)
Basically, getting this dotted line up to the 3% mark - justified, in his view (and that of many others) by current ultra-low interest rates which make this kind of investment a far better deal 
This is accompanied by splitting off capital spending from day-to-day spending, giving a bit more headroom on the latter (some of which will hopefully be used to help with cost of living, stamp duty, NI thresholds etc as well as pure spending).
And this thread is broken. Sigh. Continues here
