More detail?
OK:
"Free speech" means banning "woke warriors" from criticising Frosty on twitter (mea culpa), because nothing says "free speech" like censoring dissenting views.
How to define "woke warrior"?
Anyone who disagrees with Frosty, obvs.

"Free markets"
Yup; the man who took us out of the largest single market in the world, and left the UK as the only country whose free market is smaller than it's geographical footprint, is talking about "free markets".
I'd sooner take marriage guidance from Johnson.

"Lower taxes"
Yup; the man who shrunk our GDP by 4% thereby chopping £40Bn a year off what our current tax rates would collect, now talks about "cutting taxes". He means "cutting services; NHS, defence, housing, law & order".
Thanks, but no thanks Frosty.

"Burn the world, baby"
Apart from the fact that the CCC have estimated the cost of Net Zero for the UK at about 1/4 of the cost of Brexit, what is the alternative?
If the rest of the world goes net zero and we don't, we will be a dirty paria who can trade with no-one.

"Remove import duties"
They currently increase the price of the UK's imports by about 0.7%. That is at the dockside. It translates to 0.25% at the shelf.
Meanwhile, Brexit related sterling deflation and non-tariff barriers to EU goods will have upped dockside prices by >20%.

Lastly, Frosty exhorts us to be proud of our history. Because that'll grow the economy, Frosty? Who needs FDI and R&D when you've got pride in your history.
Reminds me of Keegan getting his players to puff their chests out: it gives headless chickens way better passing ability.

I have never seen an emptier, weaker, dumber manifesto in my life.
It just confirms what a pitiful state this country is in , where somebody so obviously inadequate can rise to so much power.
Weep for your country folks; if it was a dog you would shoot it right now.
The End
