Philip Hammond MP | Conservative Home

My guess is that he would have argued that this is a matter for Parliament, with no need to resort to the judiciary.

He stands out as a co-operative presence amidst the uncertainties of court cases, elections on the continent, and whatever negotiations may bring.

We present dismissible projections drawn from last June’s results…and some electoral trends that are not so dismissible.

She’s only been in power for a few months but there have already been ten notable policy changes.

Also: Mundell calls for devolution within Scotland; and Hammond praises the Ulster economy.

We must find alternative routes to deliver the economic growth that we are all determined to see.

Hammond is a rare beast – most holders of his office have done everything they can to extend their power.

Plus: Hammond’s jokes. Javid’s stonewalling. Am I a fascist? And: of the making of books there is no end

The Centre for Social Justice applauds the Universal Credit changes. But praise elsewhere is thin.

“This is my first Autumn Statement as Chancellor…I have decided that it will also be my last.”

Suella Fernandes, James Frayne, Hannah David, Ryan Shorthouse, Andrew Allison and others give their verdict.

He has a reputation as a dour, dull performer – but today he played some shots.

The Chancellor’s big task today is to give business a sense of the Government’s plan for Britain post-Brexit.

The Work and Pensions Secretary, sacked by Cameron, is back under May – and helping to reverse Osborne’s clampdown on welfare for working people.

Having two major fiscal events a year creates uncertainty and tempts Chancellors to pursue gimmicks.
