What a mess we’re in. Without too much effort this week, we spotted 10 messes.

It was made pretty easy with the fallout from Chancellor Philip Hammond’s first go at a Budget making news all week. His attack on small business was up there with some of the made-up-as-you-go-along nonsense from his predecessor. Hammond learned well from George Osborne.

It felt like there was something fishy going on during the Budget speech this week.

Chancellor Philip Hammond peppered the few official announcements he made with low-rent panto gags and political jibes. Were these a distraction technique?

With the benefit of hindsight, it’s clear that trying to be funny was silly Philly’s way of glossing over one of the more ‘spectacularly dumb’ decisions in...

Trump stood at the podium, behaved like an adult and explained a little more about some of his less crazy policies, including the fiscal ones.
