This week the EU claimed that if Britain wants to leave, it’ll have to pay €100bn and it reminded me of that scene in Austin Powers where Dr Evil goes back to the 1960s and demands $100bn and is met by much bemused laughter. Perhaps Brussels want the cash to pay off the Greek national debt or bribe President Erdogan into staying friendly, That is if they don’t embezzle it first. If you ask me we should maybe we can try to kill two birds with one stone by seeing if we can pay any bill by getting them to take RBS off our hand. Or maybe see if we can get renowned financial expert Diane Abbott to settle the bill.

Abbott was on the radio this week displaying her financial prowess in a car crash of an interview where she implied that you could pay the police with glass beads like a conquistador in new world or something like that. Jeremy Corbyn eventually told us it would cost £300m, although he’s also promised that money to arts funding and he’s set it aside for schools and it’s been ringfenced for the NHS as well. Boris lied about £300m once on the side of a bus and look how his campaign for becoming prime minister ended up.
