We are apparently meant to believe that the Chancellor of the Exchequer prepares the national budget with just a briefcase and a phone on his desk rather than, you know, a computer with a spreadsheet package, economic modelling software, and so on.
@iona I'm sure someone else does all that for him...
@iona
Of course not, it's really done on a napkin and the back of a fag packet.
@wyliecoyoteuk He crashed his economic modelling software by keying in the word Brexit
@iona Well, to be fair, he does appear to have a nice hot cup of tea. With that much brownian motion at hand, I'm sure he can generate all the infinite improbabilities a modern budget requires.
