Rishi Sunak is also expected to speak at the event following his trip to Washington.
In an address published by The Times, Sir Jake said: “We must propose that power belongs to the individual and not to the state. In order to supply to the North, this broken model must be abandoned or, more simply, it is time to blow up blobonomics.
“This means not only moving the civil service to the North, but also the destruction of the Oxbridge PPE cabal that determines the policies that affect our lives.”
“Blobonomics”
In a separate article for the Times Red Box, he defined “blobonomics” as “the political classes you don't know or often never voted for, who want to control your life.”
“Let's remember the Brexit furor when” blot” – the elite echelons of power – strained every nerve to cancel the democratic vote of the people. Their contempt for Brexit, ostensibly based on protecting their own power and wealth, cost us two prime ministers, including the much maligned Boris Johnson, who successfully walked the path of Brexit,” he said.
“Failure”. Blobonomics extends to its economic paradigms as well. Its supporters welcome the introduction of sin taxes on soda, tobacco and alcohol, ostensibly to discourage bad behavior. Yet, ironically, they believe that higher business and income taxes will boost business growth and productivity.
