Rishi Sunak speech getting underway at #cpc21
“I believe in fiscal responsibility.” Says “just racking up bills for future generations to pay” is “immoral.”

Fascinating. Sunak re-establishing his position as the last Osbornite in the Cabinet: “We should all be grateful to my predecessors and their 10 years of sound Conservative management of our economy. They believed in fiscal responsibility… I believe in fiscal responsibility.”
Considering how dominant Boris Johnson is and the fact he could easily be around for the next ten years, the clear jockeying from Sunak/Truss at this conf is quite something.
“I remember being told five years ago that if I backed Brexit my political career would be over before it had even begun. I always put my principles first.”
Sunak: “Brexit was never just about the things we couldn’t do but also about the things we didn’t do.”
Sunak: “Even if you can’t see it yet, I assure you- the future is here.”
Sunak: “We are going to make the United Kingdom the most exciting place on the planet.”
Sunak announces he will create 2000 new AI scholarships for disadvantaged kids and expand the number of Turing AI scholarships.
Sunak: “You can’t make progress if you pit people against each other. It’s not even that Labour don’t like us, it’s that they don’t like each other.”
