Well Dave has called off the removal man for another 5 years (or is it 4 because he's definitely stepping down at some point)

But it's not going to be all plain sailing even if he does get an overall majority with both his back benchers and SNP to fight

While the final results are coming in attention switches to NFP later for the next big bun fight

But I'm off now to the UCL in London's fair city with my old mucker from the BOE Jim Trott ( and yes I am trying to get him to post back here occasionally). We're having a Q&A session with the students of our guest economist John Hearn which will no doubt involve a bit of politics too, and just maybe a beer after

Thanks for your company and I hope we continue to give you a decent steer through these muddy waters. Good luck through the NFPs and have a great weekend

Right, taxi !!
