BREXIT 'TO BE A ROLLERCOASTER'

Britain's exit from the EU will be a 'bit of a rollercoaster' for UK businesses, according to the country's finance minister.

Philip Hammond has told the Conservative Party conference he will, as a result, invest in growth and jobs and bring the budget deficit down more slowly than previously planned.

Prime Minister Theresa May has already told the conference she'll begin formal negotiations on Brexit by the end of March next year.

And Chancellor Hammond says she's the right person to handle that process.
