The euro Titanic has now hit the iceberg – and there simply aren’t enough lifeboats to go round.

We vote to leave, we get rid of this Prime Minister – dishonest Dave [Cameron] – and we get a better Prime Minister.

I am married to a girl from Hamburg, so no one need tell me about the dangers of living in a German dominated household.

Elite is not a bad word, it’s an aspirational one.
