Even if he pleases Tory radicals, the chancellor will face another tough audience in some Brexiters, who regard him as too Eeyorish about the prospects for Britain outside the EU.

Hammond’s first budget, back in March, unravelled within days as it became clear the national insurance rise for the self-employed would be sunk by a backbench backlash (and, as it turned out, No 10 was clearing the decks for a general election).

First Mark Shuttleworth says we won’t be able to get all touchy-feely with Ubuntu until October, and then Canonical releases the Ubuntu Touch alpha for Nexus devices only, and then they host a full fledged port-a-thon. In what is the best display of underpromise and overdeliver I have seen in the tech world, Ubuntu Touch is actually out in the wild for over 25 devices.

I have to admit, after the ‘look with your eyes and not with your hands‘ first sighting of Ubuntu actually running on phone hardware, I was pretty skeptical of the emphasis and reliance on swiping and gestures as a replacement for the standard Android home, back and menu keys. After actually playing with it on my HTC Sensation via LaidbackNikez’ succinct guide over at XDA-Developers, those old buttons just feel like so much dead weight.

Please keep in mind that this is a very early look at Ubuntu Touch and that much (most?) of what you see here is not final. While the main interface is demonstrated fairly well, this build includes a lot of stubs of apps and other features. I am also testing on a non-Nexus device, which means almost none of the hardware is working except for the power button and the screen. As such, I cannot test camera features or anything that connects to the internet. I will avoid commenting on functionality as much as possible and try to assess the intent of the designers, instead of complaining about the keyboard not having autocorrect.
