The IMF seems to have rowed back a little in its article IV annual healthcheck on the UK economy from the position it was adopting last April. At the IMFs annual meeting in Washington, the funds chief economist, Olivier Blanchard, said the UK Chancellor, George Osborne, was playing with fire by continuing to pursue austerity, [...]A GP should be like Mr Bates in Downton Abbey: a selfless servant.
