HAMMOND IS BRIEFED AGAINST - AGAIN!

Phillip Hammond is once again being briefed against with cabinet "colleagues" saying he is undermining Brexit and thinking like an accountant with only the risks being considered and not the potential benefits (HERE).

I have spent a lot of time in meetings with people like Fox, Davis and Johnson (for it is one or other of these doing the briefing I am sure) who are the opposite, seeing only the potential benefits and not the risks. Really we shouldn't even be in the position we are in with the nation's future being gambled on the roll of a dice. Either the leavers should have been certain and the case unarguable so that remainers had nothing to worry about or we should never have voted to leave in the first place.

I have to say when people who are not experts exhibit nothing more than faith and a gung-ho attitude I worry a lot because disaster is usually just around the corner.  This cabinet row is going to end in tears for someone.  If Hammond resigns the pound will end up worth less than a dollar!
