As I was having a (very enjoyable) coffee with Iain Dale today we couldn’t help but notice ex-Chancellors Geoffrey Howe, Nigel Lawson and Norman Lamont coming back from a meeting in the Norman Shaw buildings, where they’d presumably been advising Mr Osborne or Mr Cameron.
Howe, Lawson and Lamont.
3 million unemployed, Black Monday and a price worth paying. I can’t think of a more terrifying prospect than the idea that they’re the wise heads to which the Tory party turns.

Three horsemen they may be, however I think the glorious leader has taken us further down the bog than any of them managed, according the doyenne of the liberal left Ms Tuscan Villa Toynbee 3 million unemployed will be fine. (That’s allright then when I get my P45 I’ll blow my last paycheck on trip to Tusacny and squat in her villa)

Anyone else wonder if this was staged for the rumour mill?

Lawson was awful on Newsnight the other day. He had no answers on the economy apart from dredging up a plan which sounded dangerously like the one McCain/Bush wanted to go for, before they realised it couldn’t work.
Needless to say the plan, buying up crap debt, will cost lots of money which has to be paid for somehow…
