0:00.0 | The Spectator is searching for the UK's brightest entrepreneurs to enter the Spectator Economic Innovator of the Year Awards in partnership with Charles Stanley wealth managers. |
0:10.1 | If you have a business that disrupts an existing market, a smart new way of doing things, or something that has incredible social impact, then apply by 1st of July at spectator.co.com. UK forward slash innovator. |
0:26.4 | Hello and welcome to you, Coffee House Shots, the Spectator's Daily Politics Podcast. |
0:35.2 | I'm Isabel Hardman and I'm joined by Katie Balls and James Forsyth. |
0:39.5 | Well, the fallout from the Cheshireman-Amishan by-election continues with a number of tensions |
0:44.1 | opening up in government. It's not just on planning, is it, Katie? It's also on public spending |
0:50.2 | and how much the Prime Minister should be committing to big project and how often he should |

2:02.5 | of when the solution might arise. But I think Boris Johnson's very keen on the Dillnott proposals, |
2:06.9 | which is just a £50,000 cap. The suggestion, I think, from Dillnott himself is that would cost |
