Pity the OBR "Given the uncertainty regarding how the Govt will respond to the choices and trade- offs it faces during the negotiations, we still have no meaningful basis on which to form a judgement as to their final outcome and upon which we can then condition our forecast."

Much talk #Davos2018 of up-skilling and preparing workers for job destruction/creation that AI will bring. But not where the $ is going to come from. Can/will private sector really fill the gap?

Though the govt met the pledge to halve inflation - worth noting that inflation is being revised UP in these new forecasts. Despite lower gas prices. OBR inflation forecast for end of 2023 now 1.9ppt higher than in March and 2024 forecast is 2.8ppt higher.

George Osborne spent £50bn on tax cuts even in the thick of austerity 2010-2015, including expansion of personal allowance. Surprising that Hammond has opted to do even more, despite polls suggesting greater popular enthusiasm for spending?
