GILT SUMMARY
GILT SUMMARY: Having long flagged the risks of Brexit to the economy and
previously appearing amenable to a second referendum, Chancellor of the
Exchequer Philip Hammond has now stated that he would stand in the Conservative
leadership race if his views are not 'properly represented'. Given that Hammond
has riled eurosceptic backbenchers with his warnings about Brexit, securing
enough votes from MPs to get down to the final two candidates and then getting
the backing of the party membership would be a tall order.
