Chancellor Philip Hammond
THE public persona of the current Chancellor of the Exchequer lacks one thing, him wearing a dog collar.
For since his appointment, he has preached nothing but “doom, darkness and despondency”.
The Prime Minister should enrol him on a winter night school course to learn about “enthusiasm, excitement and expectancy”.
Come spring, he may emerge able, like the rest of us, to look on the bright side of life.
