Q: Your manifesto only had 77 words on climate change, even though that is important to young people. Yet you pledged a vote on foxhunting. That played badly with young people. When did you realise this?
May says she recognises the issue of generational unfairness. That is why the government wants to do something about housing.

Re: Tuesday 3rd October 2017
How's that November interest rate rise looking, Mr Carney?Richard Threlfall, head of infrastructure, building and construction at KPMG has a very gloomy take on today’s construction PMI:
“This reading is significantly worse than expected and shows that economic uncertainty continues to have a serious impact on the construction industry. Construction is an economic bellwether, so the concern will spread well beyond the sector.
“There is a clear downturn in commercial construction, which is likely to continue. This is because new orders are dropping off, hitting pipelines. Infrastructure output also appears to be in decline and contractors will be concerned about a lack of new projects.
“The one relative bright spot in the data was housebuilding, but even this lost momentum and there are fears that demand will drop off if interest rates rise.”

Re: Tuesday 3rd October 2017
I've just seen the reprise of the Jeremy Hunt speech. The hall didn't look that full to me and the standing ovation was a bit tepid and patchy, I thought. Has anyone else here seen it?

It's set in a London East End (?) public steam baths which are threatened with closure. It focuses on the women who gather there (hazy memory, so I stand to be corrected). Georgina Hale was in the (TV) version that I (sort of) remember.

I was very impressed with it at the time, which is why it's lodged in my mind.
