Britain’s Chancellor of the Exchequer, Philip Hammond, has outlined the nation’s fiscal position for the coming year. The budget has been seen as a ‘cautious attempt’ to manage expectations and the nation’s purse strings. The opposition Labour Party accuses Hammond of ‘complacency’ whilst Brexit campaigners say the government has yet to provide a transparent economic post-Brexit plan.
