Today’s piece tried to explain why this Government will move Left economically. A larger state not necessarily a bad thing but there are pitfalls. Here’s my piece from 2 weeks ago. https://t.co/Luy83532LJ — PolitiTweet.org

If you're a small state free marketeer, or a one nation social liberal, it is a depressing conclusion to reach. But when it decided to be the Party of Brexit and focus on Red Wall voters, the Conservative Party made its choice. I fear it is too late to turn back. — PolitiTweet.org

David Gauke @DavidGauke

The Conservatives success at the General Election was based on winning the support of economically left wing and socially authoritarian voters. Unfortunately, to keep those voters, Rooseveltian economics & the war on the woke is the way forward. https://t.co/M9ycXl1oaX — PolitiTweet.org

@NickBoles He seemed to be hinting at something like that but no specifics. — PolitiTweet.org

David Gauke @DavidGauke

Spending on maintenance can be done quickly & makes a positive difference. The Govt right to focus on that. The political problem is that it doesn't fit well with the soaring rhetoric. Not so much 'build, build, build' but 'mend, fix, repair'. A risk of over-promising again. /END — PolitiTweet.org

David Gauke @DavidGauke

All sides presenting infrastructure projects as an answer for the immediate recovery plan. Long term this is true but there isn't the capacity to do much more in the short term. You can & should spend quickly on things like maintenance (e.g. prisons, courts, schools and roads)./2 — PolitiTweet.org

David Gauke @DavidGauke

There's a strong case for increasing public spending in current circumstances & more infrastructure spending. But too easy to conflate the two. Very hard to rapidly increase infrastructure spending (in March, the OBR were already saying 20% of investment plans would go unspent)/1 — PolitiTweet.org
