Where Michael Gove's storyliners got their ideas from

India's budget!

Prime Minister Modi and Finance Minister Sitharaman are going to 'put wings under the Indian economy' with openly Keynesian plans backed with sufficient funding.

"Driven by seven engines of Roads, Railways, Airports, Ports, Mass Transport, Waterways, Logistics infrastructure, the national master plan aimed at excellent modern infrastructure and logistics synergy."

Unlike Gove and Johnson, they mean business.

"The budget announced 400 new Bande Bharat Trains, 100 new cargo terminals to give a boost to infrastructure. Four multi-modal logistics parks through PPP mode to be awarded. Integration of postal and railways network to facilitate parcel movement." And more. https://bit.ly/modiwings.

Contrast this with the 12 damp squib pipedreams from Johnson and Gove that have no substance, no new money, no hope and no glory.

Pipedreams are expected from Chuckle brothers Johnson and Gove but I'm surprised at Rishi Sunak joining in.

I thought he was meant to be seriously a minded economist/banker?
