Jeremy Hunt?
Really?
Jeremy Hunt is the UK’s new Chancellor. Is he the answer to chronic miscommunication, financial incompetence and the fairy-tail economics he will take over?
Who turned the job down?
The UK needs economic clarity and market credibility.
Hunt has little experience of financial markets. I could write an erudite commentary, and conclude Liz Truss has to go. I am pretty sure she will – her full title is First Lord of the Treasury and she is presiding over an economic omishambles than will only deepen.
Instead I am going for swim in our local river, and heaven help our cocktail cabinet when I get back…
