one thing within the obr report which was interesting, they touch on the grenfell fire. a cost attached to putting in proper policies that can deal with things, the outcome of things like that? from what we have heard so far, it could be significant and we have to recognise that. the overall issue, how do we get our housing programme back in line? robert chote suggested, some would say, from his obr report, but actually the prudent management of the public finances, austerity, if you'd like, is actually a good thing to do when you have very high levels of debt. you still have a deficit all of these years after the financial crisis. actually it is time to fix the roof while the sun is shining. we are a whirlwind at the moment. lack of investment, austerity measures, which have largely hit people who need the money, who would spend and help grow, and consumer debt increasing. it is just pure management. can we move on to the issue of brexit? we have had the publication of the european union (withdrawal) bill, as it is now called. you have immediately come so too will not s
