Tory leadership contender’s ‘major speech on the economy’ was little more than a catalogue of slogans about optimism
In a speech in Westminster, Leadsom, the leading pro-Brexit candidate, appeared to ditch the economic strategy of her former boss George Osborne and sought to reassure the financial markets that Britain could cope with leaving the EU.
Together we will write another great chapter of prosperity and tolerance and hope.

That was *not* as billed a ‘major speech on the economy’ by @andrealeadsom. More a series of optimistic hopes and soundbites
