    Even I knew the answers were QPR and Holborn. Does this guy really live in London?

    The look on Zac's face at 7:15 when he doesn't know where QPR play or central line stations.

    Gene Kerrigan reminds us that left-wing Irish parties don't do pointless factionalised bickering. Or something.

    And that's why Brexit is going to be attractive to so many voters.

    It's whatever you want it to be. It will be a protectionist free-trade interventionist laissez-faire crazy wonderland.

    At NIESR recently, I heard Brexjt supporters describing a post-EU UK as a bastion of free markets/trade. Doubtful.

    The politics of industrial decline are particularly cynical. Everyone knows little can be done; no-one dare say it.

    Suspect there's a big grain of truth in this.

    100 years of risk (fiscal, Brexit, EZ end, united Ireland, who knows?) all for 2.35%. Markets have lost their mind

    Amazing. Ireland sells its first 100-year bonds for a yield of 2.35%. (Hi !)
