As far as I can see, the Treasury has a strong fiscal hand to play this autumn (clearly, it doesn't like this being written, tho, because that just adds to requests from spending departments)
The point is that some of the requests for more money - education catch-up, health waiting lists, couts backlogs, rail subsidies while people WFH are temporary. These can be funded in 2022-23 and beyond credibly temporarily without undermining the UK's fiscal position
Then we have the OBR's coming review of Covid economic scarring - this is potentially a game changer for the medium-term fiscal outlook.
No, it shouldn't be done behind closed doors at the OBR, and no, we don't really have any idea what the right number is, but...
1) It's terribly fashionable in central banking to be seen to be green. This is a red flag for me because this isn't the role of central banks
2) Hauser at no stage attempts to quantify the effect of BoE bond buying on the environment. Let's be clear, he would if he could. So, it's irrelevant to the issue
3) The BoE has resorted to the use of rubbish infographics - it always does this when it's got nothing to say
