If the Chancellor’s emergency budget to mitigate the negative consequences of Brexit isn’t in the best interests of this country then I don’t know what is. Should a Finance Minister remove himself from his obligations to do so?

If he is unfit for office do you propose replacing this Government?

That your remarks are not constructive is a pity. If you are going to snip, why not be constructive about it?

Btw, I forgot to ask earlier; are you happy for the UK to be in partnership with Macron, given that he's trying to stiff us over fishing rights and the backstop?

I’ve commented on the fishing rights a number of times. All trade deals involve concessions- that’s the nature of capitalism. It is you who frames it in terms of “us” and “them” with the largest trading bloc on the planet.

I don’t see my comments as unconstructive. There’s no reason to be positive about a situation that makes the people of this country poorer when there’s a viable alternative.
