CABINET SPLITS BEGIN TO APPEAR

The Telegraph (HERE) is reporting that Phillip Hammond is under pressure in cabinet for being too pessimistic about Brexit. An unnamed cabinet minister says Hammond should watch his back and may lose his job.

There is a particular problem with Liam Fox who thinks we should leave the customs union and Hammond who can see the problems this would create for British industry (see letter from the CBI HERE).  It seems the issue is so intractable either Fox or Hammond may be forced out over it.

The Mail on Sunday (HERE) had an article which apparently give Hammond's view of the three Brexiteers. It's not very flattering to say the least.

This is always the problem with those who call for something out of faith alone, they cannot listen to reasoned argument and believe they are right even in the face of mounting evidence to the contrary.

Update: Politic Home reports on the growing rift (HERE).
