What's the point of... Chancellors to estate agents?

This week we meet Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones to talk about his guitar collection and... oh, sorry, that's not true.However we dress this up, the truth is that this week's show and probably next week and the week after features more Brexit.Not too much though. Saved by of all things, Milton Keynes and more specifically its car parks. To kick off, Simon Lambert, Rebecca Rutt and George Frost take a reflective look over the week's events and wonder in the wake of Brexit... What's the point of interest rates, and interest rates meetings and Bank of England musings on interest rates if they never change?What's the point of quantitative easing if all it does is stoke house prices?What was the point of George Osborne? Remember him? The Chancellor who gambled it all on house prices and fear... and lost.What's the point of estate agents now buyer demand for homes has fallen at the sharpest rate on record?What's the point of new Chancellor Phillip Hammond when we have no economic plan? At least this one's got a degree in economics and industry experience. What's the point of the new Cabinet? The government one, not a sideboard - or maybe there's not a lot of difference.What was the point of austerity when all it did was make the poorest pay for riches' mistakes. It's a great show. There's some stuff on pensions and when they're next going to be mucked about with and parking rage and portal juggling. And finally, the economy may be heading back to the dark ages but the future has arrived in Milton Keynes. It's been named the second best place to work in the country and it's going to get better with free parking for electric cars.
