I trust someone like Nigel Lawson more than anyone on here , or Tony Blair or John Major. He is supporting the Out/Leave campaign. Good enough for me and Mrs Hoof to vote with him. If we leave, do you think Dave and George would carry on?

There wouldn't be any lucrative MEP jobs to fall back on because the big fat European Parliament cash cow will have moved on. I suppose they could create roles of Peace Envoys in Syria for them? More importantly though, if we leave the EU do we still have to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest? Edited by Percy of Peckham (23 Feb 2016 7.36am)

He's one of the Tories I quite liked. Good sense of pragmatism. Although ultimately some of his decisions regarding banking regulation and privitisation have created problems in the future, and he did essentially pioneer indirect taxation. Him, Heath and Hessletine I've always had a soft spot for.

Another blow to Cameron. He expected more companies to back him and his decision to campaign to stay in the EU. Only a third of FTSE 100 companies signed the letter promoting his campaign and these are pretty much the same lot that trumpeted the campaign to ditch the pound and adopt the Euro. We weren't listening to you then and we're not now.

Bojo would be in the ascendancy, but others would come forward... I still like Liam Fox, but he's had a few setbacks.

He's no more of a liar than most politicians - Cameron is very economic with the truth most of the time now and is backing a campaign he doesn't believe in. Anyway it was another bad day for your mate Jeremy yesterday in the Commons. He stood up to speak after Cameron finished a long speech and as usual met with jeers and started "This last few weeks I too have been to Brussels to meet with my socialist comrades, and do you know what they are saying?" Quick as a flash some wag shouted out "Who are you?" The house erupted with laughter from both sides of the house which went on for ages until the speaker restored order, and yet again Corbyn showed us his merits and aptitude to be PM.

I saw the quip aimed at Corbyn and I was 'Convulsed' with laughter. In actual fact I think Corbyn said that he had been to Brussels and someone had said to him.. at which point the wag shouted out "Who are you" ?

To me, whilst its funny, its actually the interrupter who comes off as the t***, wasting peoples time with quips and jokes, rather than doing his job and listening and letting people actually address the commons etc. I don't really see how it paints Corbyn's merits or aptitude at all, it just shows mentality of British Politics. Its like the kid who disrupts class, to make his mates laugh.
