I disagree, Paul. The good councillors and MPs will be answerable to the wreckers for evermore.

So yesterday, Osborne faced the media and told them "we have a plan". No detail of course, as if the act of saying "we have a plan" in itself constitutes having a plan.

If we vote to leave on June 23 we will be voting for higher prices, we will be voting for fewer jobs, we will be voting for lower growth, we will be voting potentially for a recession. That is the last thing our economy needs.
