I want to ask my hon. colleague what level of confidence he has, given that the <a data-HoCid=\"314774\" href=\"/politicians/mark-carney/\" title=\"Mark Carney\">Prime Minister</a> committed to having a free trade agreement with our cousins to the south, and to building things at unheard of speeds. In the past we have also heard that the budgets will balance themselves.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9265175\" data-originallang=\"en\"> What level of confidence does my hon. colleague have that, on its own, the government would do the right thing?</p>",
