We only have to pay half (twice) - got to hand it to the man for his grasp of the finer points. Well done Gideon!

Gideon really is a card.

So while the rest of the world reported that the UK had failed to get its additional contribution cut, the UK media dutifully repeated the Chancellor’s claim that it had been halved. BBC journalists were clearly suspicious about what had gone on, so their website led with “Osborne's EU budget claim challenged”. But they couldn’t bring themselves to actually report that Osborne’s claim to have negotiated a halving of our additional contribution was wrong. After all, he is the UK Chancellor, so surely he wouldn’t pretend he had done something he had not. Some lowly MP might play fast and loose with numbers, but not the man in charge of the UK’s finances. I suspect many in the media have still not fully appreciated what a unique Chancellor George Osborne is.

Toothless BBC: the government's mouthpiece.

He's lost a lot of weight and a new hairstyle. Looks terrible.

A proper Labour opposition should be hammering these clowns in the polls.

With Miliband as leader I think they may be in opposition for another term.

As the Irish weatherman said in the middle of the winter.
"It's going to be 60 degrees in Dublin today. 30 degrees in the morning and 30 degrees in the afternoon"

We could call this form of conundrum an 'Osborneism' :stirrer:

A proper Labour party ceased to exist sometime around 1994.
