Could this be George Osborne's last Budget?

[AtW]

"From hero to zero in little more than six months; rarely have a Chancellor’s political fortunes unravelled quite so quickly as those of George Osborne. Last autumn, he was still riding high. He’d fine-tuned the economy to political perfection, helping secure the Tories a famous election victory, and like some modern-day Thomas Cromwell, his powers of patronage had never been greater, seemingly outgunning even those of the Prime Minister.

But then along came the ticking timebomb of the referendum, and the tables turned. Ever since, power and authority has seemed to seep away. The political expediency of a vote on Europe was always going to have its price; for the Downing Street incumbents, it may yet be a cruelly terminal one.

In any case, the Out campaign has begun to look as much like an internal Tory party putsch as a principled fight for sovereignty and a better economic future. Those who always mistrusted Cameron and Osborne, regarding them as closet Blairites rather than the true heirs to Thatcher, sense their time has come. By the summer, the Tory high command could look completely different."

We can only hope so, except for Waldorks

Camoron should make him Minister for Northern Ireland ...

Hopefully good riddance.

I'm hoping that it was Gove who leaked the Queen and EU story to his Murdoch mates at The Sun and has to get/be sacked, that would make me laugh

You have to vote out just to watch this Tory scumverment implode, and Gidiot to vanish into obscurity.

It takes some doing to make Gordon Brown look competent, but he manages to pull it off.

Yeah, even for the inners, that has to be tempting.

Vote in, get Merkel running the UK, a lot of unemployed border guards, and gidiot dreaming up the taxes.

It's actually VERY tempting to vote out just to punish that scum.

There will be renegotiation, a "new" deal which would require "new" referendum and at least during this process (couple of years) scum will try to avoid introducing new taxes.

You mean the tri-scum-virate (Gidiot, Cameron and Gauke) will stop screwing the population just to win votes at the next election? How very kind of them.
