Nobody is hoping for voter-friendly treats. Nobody is hoping for voter-friendly treats in arrogant Eeyore’s Halloween Budget For a man in charge of our economic destiny at such a momentous time, this “ stubby-pencilled accountant ” has precious little to say. It seems he even remained mute at a recent Cabinet session to war-game a No-Deal Brexit — surely the Chancellor of the Exchequer ’s special subject. Well-informed Spectator editor Fraser Nelson says other ministers piled in with upbeat projects but Hammond “seemed to have no ideas and kept quiet”. Spreadsheet Phil possesses either supreme self-confidence or total contempt for the 17.4million who voted for Brexit , or both.
