Ahhhh Rishi Sunak. He's great isn't he? We all need a Rishi right now. He settles nerves. He tells us it's all going to be okay. He buys me dinner Monday to Wednesday (sort of). Today has been all about the Summer statement where as expected, a 9 month stamp duty holiday is the big news for the UK housebuilders. We were actually expecting it to run for 6 months so an extra 3 months always welcomed. He also announced a furlough bonus and most importantly a 50% discount for eating out from Mon- Wed. Yup, 50% off! It is only up to £10 per person but it will do. Not quite sure how it tallies with Boris's plans to tackle the obesity crisis but there we go.
