But sadly, the moment was probably only in her own mind, as, it would appear would be the fantasy she was trying to convey during her Spring Statement.
When she wasn’t attacking the opposition and pointing a finger of blame, there was little else to say about a Government than in 18 months or so has managed to cause more economic damage to many sectors than a global pandemic.
She might think she’s on the right track and in her mind she’s delivering growth, but with OBR figures being down graded, and businesses in the hospitality sector folding like a pack of cards, its just that, in her own mind.
Job losses
And that’s before we see the economic impact of Trump’s latest international adventure - although sadly, I suspect that will be an economic excuse of a life raft the Chancellor will cling to harder than Rose in the film Titanic.
The biggest irritation of the entire speech was the extended claims about how they were improving the lot for young people, which flies in the face of reality.
Yes you might have delivered wage growth, as she crowed, but at what expense?
Unemployment is forecast to hit a high of 5.3% and guess which demographic makes up the large proportion of that? Yes young people.
Hospitality has shed around 200,000 jobs since Labour came into power and started hiking the costs of employment.
Economic vandalism
And particularly the cost of employing untrained young people who lack experience. The Government was warned of the consequences of this, but ploughed on regardless.
So don’t sit there and tell me you’re helping young people.
Hospitality is often the first step on the work ladder for young people, an experience which, regardless of whether it results in a rewarding career, teaches important and invaluable life skills.
This Labour Government have taken that away from the youth.
They need to wake up to the economic vandalism they are inflicting, remove the shackles and burdens of over taxation on our sector and then she can start talking about growth that exists outside of her own mind.
