His budgets normally fall apart within 48 hours, this one did so before it was delivered . Daily politics was interesting today on this . Tory remain , Ed someone (talking horse would have made more sense ) infuriated Neil by refusing to answer the question of how they'd get it through parliament . Then some dopey labour leftie refused to answer whether Darling was with Osborne representing Labour or in a personal capacity . He cut her off in the end saying " it's not worth talking to you " as she was launching into another preplanned sound bite. John Mann was interesting, he said that remain mps are telling him they're shocked at anti EU feeling they're picking up on doorstep . Also said Scotland isn't looking as solid as people think .

Any guesses when TV games announced

It won't . But Osborne will do exactly the opposite of what he purposes in his Revenge Budget in a downturn . You loosen monetary policy in a down turn .

Or you do what Osborne has continues to do every time he misses his targets . Laughable that Osborne talks about a black hole . He's had a black hole since 2010, which of course he was going to close by 2015 , but is now extended to 2021. Regardless of Brexit I would bet the house that he'll miss it again and extend his soft version of austerity yet again . They'll be a recession if we stay in . Osborne has created house bubble growth , that's all based on consumer credit . There will be a bust , it was never abolished

The funniest thing is Jezza can't bring himself to agree with them .

Don't get me wrong I like long , particularly his attitude . He did well at the end of the season , but let's be honest he's not top quality . I think him & Austin ( if fit) could be a real handful , but if we're going to play one up top , his finishing isn't good enough .

I would have thought so , but something has spooked the Labour Remain campaign . All of a sudden they're talking about reforms to free movement and digging up Brown , Balls & Darling . Maybe coincidence , but it seems to coincide with postal votes arriving .

Historically there's also a high postal return in northern labour areas and from certain communities ( I won't speculate why , lets ignore that particular elephant )

A press photographer told it to me , where he got it from I don't know . However , Isobel Hartman & Dan Hodges have dropped hints in recent days . As I said it's illegal to publish but if the camps don't know how the postal vote is going , it'll be the first election they haven't . They may not know exact numbers , but they know whose winning Just to add Dan Hodges wrote " don't believe the rumours I'm hearing " or something like that . So the substance maybe BS but the fact there are rumours isn't

I heard Poch had break clauses for both sides in his contract , that's why we didn't kick up a fuss about him clearly being tapped up ( I know Ron was but Poch's was not blatant) . Don't know if it's true a Spurs ( alleged,) itk told me. If it was just as easy as paying the last year off, why didn't Everton do the same

Postal votes are verified but not counted before the voting day . Both sides have observers present whilst they're opened and verified . According to Westmimster rumours Tom Watson has said that the returns in Northern areas are "truly horrific" for the remain side . Won't read much about it as its a criminal offenders to publish any details , I guess we'll find out on the day . But I guess it explains leaves tactics this week .

City gave their manager a new contract and had absolutely no intention of him seeing it out . Perhaps Saints offered him one to stop speculation during his final year , but with easy brake clauses if they wanted to get rid.

Dennis Skinner , Frank Field, Tony Benn , all well known swivel eyed racist loons . What makes me laugh is that for 20 years labour have ignored the concerns of their supporters . They're so out of touch , they just can't accept people are sick of uncontrolled immigration . They've ignored them or belittled them , knowing they still won't vote Tory . Thing is , Tory isn't on the ballot this time snd their chickens are coming home to roost

They tried to play the public for fools , particularly the working class . They all fell into line following Cameron's Wilson play book . The time to talk tough on immigration was during the renegotiation , not fall into line spouting the " great deal " line . The stupid thing about it is that the people like Boris had a point when talking about a second vote . The remain side shot it down and forced it off the agenda . There is no doubt in my mind that it we went back after a leave vote and said that if freedom of movement was suspended from certain countries until their GDP was more in line with ours , they'd welcome us back with open arms . Had Cameron called their bluff , they'd hsbe done so as well . I've no doubt Cameron thought it was in the bag so never bothered demanding anything . Could be one of the biggest misjudgements in political history

Tom Watsons just called for a review of freedom of movement , **** me they really do think we're stupid . Their internal polling must be horrendous , they are starting to embarrass themselves now .

Had we taken the advise of the oecd and many others scaring us now ,we'd have joined the euro . The ERM was a political act, that put people's houses & jobs at risk for political dogma . It was the first step towards monetary union and proved once and for all that you can't have monetary union without fiscal Union. Not that the euro loons took any notice. This was when I realised that it was being turned from a trading bloc to something more sinister . The Government spent millions propping up the pound because it's rules set a floor the pound couldn't fall below . All Saros and others did was understand that this was unsustainable and that there wasn't an endless supply of government money & interest rates couldn't keep going higher and higher without devaluation . It was Government policy that cost the nation so much money , not currency speculators

There aren't too many people who think it was right to join the ERM & right to join the Euro.

No but it makes me cautious of listening to them again. Particularly when they didn't learn from previous mistakes . Some people supported membership of the ERM , but realised that this forerunner to the euro was flawed , so turned against that. Others like the oecd backed the ERM, didn't learn from it, predictded meltdown if we didn't join, were wrong again and still don't learn . There's only so many times you can be wrong. It's not me discrediting them , it's their previous predictions that have done that. Personally, I'll listen to people who were right all along rather than ones whose dogma can never change

Pathetic . When deciding how seriously to take people's predictions , most sensible people take into account their record on previous predictions . People who supported the ERM & Uk membership of the euro were wrong twice .

Are they they the type of players to give their all week in week out whilst running their contracts down , i don't think they are.Therefore , they sign an extension or we get rid

I think it'll be great to get an English youngster in . Hopefully our coaches will get more out of him than Norwich's did . Buying youngsters and improving them , there's nothing wrong with that .

The bit I don't buy at all is Eddie Howe having no " special affinity " with Boscombe . That is bull shine

The refereeing been excellent so far , but here comes ****enburg

A relaunch for the Remain camp. Ed Balls coming out and saying more most be done on immigration, and man of the people Gordon Brown is to spearhead the next few days with Cameron taking a back seat. Evidently , he can cut through with Labour leavers in their heartlands. Would could possibly go wrong. VOTE REMAIN YOU BIGOTED OLD HAG...........

No it's the initial "deal"he did , fiddling around the edges regarding benefits
