Cameron's crumpet and (old) politics as usual
Once it was "Blair's babes"; now it's "Cameron's crumpet". We're back to gratuitous pre-election politics again. Gove went because he was too good, and the Guardian didn't like him. And who's this Brussels bound Lord Hill fellow?

The corporatist CBI blusters on about the EU
The corporatist CBI's supportive position on UK membership of the EU makes no sense at all from a broader economic point of view or for entrepreneurship, but it makes a great deal of sense for the vested interests of its main constituency, big business
