UK fin min Hammond out on Reuters 25 Oct

Can't be certain ? Come on, no chance. What is it with these eejits?

There is a whole raft of issues that need to be discussed/overcome.

  • QE has been highly effective
  • no request for QE has ever been refused

Never refused? Should that even be a comment? BOE independence et al. We know though that Carney has been less than impressed by the govt leaning on his shoulder.

  • WTO terms would be quite challenging for some UK industries such as auto makers

Roll on March

Hammond - Brexit may not be just about finance
