A fifth column of Remain MPs in the cabinet and the wider Parliamentary Conservative Party led by Hammond are exploiting the opportunity presented by the catastrophic general election to halt Brexit.

The stature of Hammond’s office of state, inferior only to the enfeebled Prime Minister’s, offers him an unacceptably influential platform to spin his strategy, all in the name of the economy and British business.

We have only recently reached the anniversary of the referendum, when 17.4 million patriotic Brits voted to leave the European Union, establishing the biggest ever democratic mandate from the British people, but the mass media portray a different story. The referendum is already ancient history, Britain has not in fact escaped the economic Armageddon predicted by George Osborne and his allies in the global elite, it has been merely delayed, while Europe under the stewardship of Emmanuel Macron and Angela Merkel restore the continent to post-war prosperity.

Employment, salaries, exports and growth in the UK are all up while Macron’s popularity plummets amid a tepid increase in Eurozone output following decade-long stagnation. Indeed, Last week marked the 10-year anniversary of the first rumblings of the financial crisis. Incredibly, the commentariat have taken to nostalgically pining after leaders of the pedigree of Alistair Darling and Gordon Brown, the very men who deregulated British finance to near oblivion before heaping loads of extra debt onto the public balance sheet.

‘Spreadsheet Phil’ was able to forge a reputation for common sense during a decade that was to cherish anonymity over the bling bling of Bliar Blair. He’s now cashing in his chips to derail the public will, he cannot be allowed to succeed.

Even Remoaner Bank of England governor Mark Carney admitted that the City could thrive after Brexit as Swiss private bank Julius Baer became the latest financial services group to back the UK by expanding operations in Brexit Britain.

New research also highlighted the strong growth of the tech sector following our vote to leave the EU, while a survey from the Bank of England showed how the new value of sterling has reoriented the UK economy away from dependence on consumer spending.

Meanwhile, starting salaries were found to be on the rise as firms continue to step up recruitment and the international trade department moves to enhance trade ties with Asian economies.
