Dominic Raab: Street Table and Sajid Javid

dominic raab: This week, liberty-lovers witnessed some exciting developments, the IEA said in an email to its supporters, according to The Guardian. The organisation, whose mission is to shrink the state, lower taxes and deregulate business, noted that 14 of those around the Downing Street table including the chancellor, Sajid Javid, the foreign secretary, Dominic Raab, and the home secretary, Priti Patel were alumni of IEA initiatives . The IEA had good reason to boast about its influence. The free market thinktank the Institute of Economic Affairs felt self-congratulation was more in order, however. Just a few years earlier, on the occasion of its 60th birthday in 2015, Javid had declared that it had reflected and deeply influenced my views, helping to develop the economic and political philosophy that guides me to this day . In a speech to the IEA the same year, Raab also enthused about the organisation's effect on his younger self. He'd had a couple of drinks, and had gone in to the sea to mull over an idea that New Labour had eroded liberty in Britain and created a rights culture that had fostered a nation of idlers. A few years back, he told the audience, he had been on a beach in Brazil. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
