THANK God May 7 is not too far away, when we will no longer have to tolerate so-called politicians indulging in petty playground squabbles like a lot of overgrown schoolboys and girls, talking about airy-fairy revenue schemes, none of which work, Ed Balls has admitted on TV.

Perhaps the £55 million a day paid to Brussels would help to cure our ills. What the electorate need is someone to talk some sense, always assuming politicians know what it is.
