Times Like These

How does Times Radio contribute to the plurality of voices? The position that unites almost all contributors to the Times, Telegraph and Guardian papers (read them blind and tell me that you can spot the difference) is already all over the airwaves as well.

These people are still furious that Leave won, that the coup against Jeremy Corbyn failed, that only the machinations of his party's own staff stopped him from becoming Prime Minister in 2017, that Boris Johnson became Prime Minister in 2019, that Change UK never changed anything, that the Brexit Party topped the poll, that no Government of National Unity ever materialised, that the people and places that had delivered a Leave victory and a hung Parliament then delivered a huge majority for Johnson, and that Keir Starmer's Labour has still not attained the poll rating that Corbyn's Labour had when the party went down to its worst defeat in 84 years.

Oh, well, let them bellyache about it on the radio. They are the few. We are the many. They are the past. We are the future. They are the losers. We are the winners. The Budget of March 2020 has ended the era that began with the Budget of 1976. The Centre is the think tank for this new era. It already has plenty going on.
