it is reasonable to ask what management information is available to the Chancellor. There has been news of an "improvement" in government borrowing (£1,680 bn) hinting at a loosening. But there has also been as if quite separate and a media hyped threat from Europe news of liabilities to be settled at or following brexit. But there is no difference between the Chancellor's hand to mouth borrowing, whether on target or better, and the liabilities constantly building up by spending deficit and in the normal course including those due for settlement in Europe post-brexit.
