I don’t know...sounds good on Brexit, but then goes on a “social justice” riff.

I'm not a Brit but I think that term has a different meaning in the UK than it does in the U.S.

Her main social justice point was more money for early childhood intervention, which sounds like a nanny state enterprise.

The British are more nanny-stater than we Yanks.

Thank God we live in the good old U.S. of A.

You really should include a short written/typed synopsis. There are people who can’t “do” video. Little things like “which country”, for instance. Someday your hearing too may “go to hell” and you will appreciate such gestures.

UKIP released a video saying she is the best candidate and Boris Johnson has endorsed her as well.

Someday? I hear "go to hell" all the time already.;-)

I will take your advice to heart.

In this case, Andrea Leadsom is one of the MP's standing for PM of the UK. She was a major backer of "Leave" the EU.

BTW, there are closed captions on most videos, though they are not always accurate.

I will see if I can find a written transcript of this speech. It was impressive.

I looked for a transcript but couldn’t find one. If one eventually turns up, I will send it to you.

Do we have the makings of another Ronald Reagan/Margaret Thatcher alliance with Mr. Trump and Ms. Leadsom?

It certainly looks that way.

Very, very interesting times we’re living in.

She’s minister of state for energy and climate change. She’d be better than May.

Yes, thanks for pointing that out, too. She specifically said she wants to control executive pay, Ie: that pay and bonuses should be based on performance. Of course, the statement is correct, but it is none of the government’s business.
