Hi All,
On the Mogg (who faced down a hooded leftist mob at a university debate on Friday night) verses Treasury "scenarios" for the post Brexit economy .
Well it's quite simple. The civil service don't want Brexit. The Treasury especially . This isn't "Nazi Germany" as the guardian reports , but fact. REMEMBER the project fear campaign during the referendum. Note , the same Treasury was telling us that by now we'd be in a worse depression than the 1920-1939 period, millions would be unemployed and that was BEFORE we'd have left the EU. However we are not in a period some great depression . That's why we are switched off to the civil service /Treasury. They're like the boy that cries wolf.
We are in a period of great lack of leadership. As Sarah opined last week , if nothing else the cabinet should have an agreed coherent position. But the current power vacuum is destabilising constitutional government and democracy. In retrospect May should have faced a full blown leadership contest. If the conservatives get rid of her, I trust they will have a full vote. In fact I'd like to see a primary type vote where conservatives voters and not just conservative party members elect the next leader. But I bet they'll be another coronation/ sitch up.
