If Labour got in (still a big if) Hammond would be able to leave a note saying there's still no money and even more IOU's

If Corbyn were to win there's an upside for me; Watching all the lefties fume as it slowly dawns his combination of sending out the 'come to Britain' signal, boosting benefits and harming business will be a disaster for their personal finances.
Free money wasn't free after all, who woulda though it.......

Er, what? "Yes," isn't a fact, it's an answer.
The polls I have seen show about 35% of people wanting a hard brexit, the rest wanting something inbetween that and no brexit, or answering, "don't know."0 -
