Be Bold - Brexit Must Unleash Our Economy To Boom.
Just been reading an article by Tim Newark in the Daily Express this morning. Below, Liz Trust gives her view on Brexit.

Why are our wimpish MP’s so timid with the EU?
Liz Truss, Chief Secretary of the Treasury has the right idea. She fully embraces Brexit, saying that making Britain a bolder, richer, go-getting nation is what Brexit should be about, unleashing us from a stultifying bureaucracy that hampers innovation and frustrates a buccaneering attitude to grabbing a bigger slice of global trade.
She went on to say: “We need to create the incentive for entrepreneurs to invest in this country. There seems to be some reluctance to grab the opportunity afforded by Brexit to make the UK a hugely attractive country for doing business by slashing our corporate tax rates. Somehow it’s considered ungentlemanly to be so bluntly competitive with the EU. But why not?”
“Brussels has certainly done us no favours recently and why not get them to sharpen up their act by letting the free market shape our destiny by bringing in investment from all around the world. We should be so lucky to be the Singapore of the North Sea!!
Jeremy Hunt was in Singapore last week and said that Singapore’s low-regulation policies should be the model for the UK. It’s low-tax, high-skill regime has transformed it into the eighth richest country in the world and it’s no surprise that Sir James Dyson has set up his latest factory there.”
“But Hunt was harangued for his enthusiasm because it might upset Brussels and make them less inclined to give us a good deal. Oh dear, poor things. Clearly they are more interested in protectionism and defending special interest groups against global competition. That’s why Theresa May must not go through with a deal that keeps us shackled to the EU’s idea of a level playing field.”
“If we are going to make any success of Brexit, we must become braver and evoke that world-conquering spirit that enriched us in the first place”

What a welcome approach from a Treasury Secretary! Wish we could swap her for that traitorous Hammond.
If only more of our MP’s had the same faith in our country.
What do you think?
