It seems that the big guns really are doing their best to derail Brexit.
Today, Chancellor of the Exchequer has ignored Prime Minister May's stated opinion about Brexit and predicted that a 'No Deal' scenario would bring gloom and misery to the UK's economy, echoing a similar message from Christine Lagarde, managing Director of the International Monetary Fund.
Of course, both Hammond and Lagarde have been firm opponents of Brexit, of any sort, since Day 1; both have issued similar dire warnings repeatedly over the last 2 years and more. Hammond, like his partner in crime, Mark Carney, has stuck rigidly to a script which forecasts nothing but disaster for the UK in the event of there being no deal, while making no concessions to the views of Brexiteers. Lagarde is a former finance minister of France, a committed Europhile and one who has become totally inured to the workings of highly bureaucratic and centralised organisations such as the European Union.
Both Hammond and Lagarde can see nothing but good in the EU, and nothing but bad in Brexit. It is in their blood, in every fibre of their being, to oppose Brexit in every possible way. We must not let them win the argument.
