    This whole obsession with 'high tables' and 'top tables' just proves what the establishment's attachment to the EU is about i.e. self-advancement, vanity and lording it over the rest of us.

    Surely staying in means the establishment has less say?

    Allistair Heath gives Osborne both barrels.
    "Yet the Treasury report on the supposed long-term impact of leaving the EU is shameful, undoubtedly the worst piece of “research” from a government department in years.
    It starts off with a scandalously biased assumption: that there can be no possible economic benefits to Brexit, just costs. In other words, it’s not really a cost-benefit analysis of Brexit, but merely a cost-cost one. And not just any costs, mind: in each case, any downsides are magnified in an extreme way. "

    It's remarkable than anyone believes an Osborne cooked document could be objective.

    This is the man who halved the bill and paid the full bill.

    Does a high table require a high chair?

    So the 4x4 driving subsidy junkies want to keep getting their fix, paid for by the rest of us.

    Liz Truss and BSE are seriously out of their depth when they do not realise CAP is outside of the Norway model...

    That is pretty stunning. I thought she was better than that.
    Then you were wrong. How she got a first at Oxford heavens knows but maybe General Melchett was right after all.
    One day there will be a comedy series funnier than Blackadder goes forth. One day....
    Absolute perfection. Although, personally, Blackadder II is my fave.
    Miranda Richardson was just fabulous.

    Sorry, am I missing something here? Truss didn't mention CAP. It was the bloke who replied who brought it up. Or are we saying that post-Leave the EU can do what it likes with agricultural policy and it will never affect us one iota?
    Yes.
    Please tell me what.

    This Spurs side are seriously good and a delight to watch. Didn't enjoy the 3 goals against United as much but it was still hard not to admire the skill.

    Leicester can still not afford to slip up.

    Leicester's last 3 games are really tough.

    Did you know Nursey was named after Bernard Jenkin, the Tory MP?

    Yep this is not over. And Spurs have a much better goal difference.

    We only have the luxury of salt if we take the EEA option.

    It's arsenic for WTO rules.

    The never to be repeated season when Dundee United won the Scottish league we were singing "We'll win the league at Dens" (Dundee's ground and our last match of the season) and we did. I was there. These things happen.

    Even someone who has no knowledge of economics can tell no credible piece of research would divide the 2030 GDP number by the 2015 households number. An increase in population in one scenario over the other would then show a GDP per household increase even if GDP per household is the same in the model.

    Osborne, Crabb and the other bozos up there are just lying to us to stay in the EU.

    As a West Ham fan enjoying one of our best seasons in decades I would be genuinely disappointed if the two points we cost Leicester meant they didn't win the Premier League. It is a very long time since I have so badly wanted a team other than the Hammers to win.

    The LSE have confirmed similar views and the IFS said it was not unreasonable
