    The European Central Bank is poised to launch a €1tn round of quantitative easing on Thursday...

    QE also swelled the Fed’s balance sheet enormously. Its vast bond-buying programme took the balance sheet from about $870bn in August 2007 to $4.5tn today.

    etc etc.

    Let's all be trillionaires!

    It was home heating not petrol and diesel, but yes the tax cut is a nonsense promise not least when it comes from someone with no power to deliver tax cuts.

    Leading figures backing ‘Brexit’ today said they want powers back from the EU to scrap VAT on fuel to help the poorest households - warning British politicians are powerless to scrap the “unfair and damaging” tax while Britain remains in the EU.

    But the rival Stronger In campaign responded by arguing the claims ring hollow since the Vote Leave has made £111bn in spending promises - more than ten times the net £10bn saving they claim would be made on a ‘Yes’ vote.

    First bit of Brexit spam I have seen so thought it would be worth letting through yesterday. Great to see Boris is using his Sunday down-time to good effect.

    If I were a moderator, I'd hand out infractions for bad grammar, poor sentence or paragraph structure, or just plain copying and pasting drivel.

    That is a very very good question. It's almost as if the LibLabCon want uncontrolled immigration in this country, as if the huge numbers means lots of people willing to work for peanuts, which drives up profits for the big companies...
