Get tough, but don’t forget the workers, says NICK FERRARI



IT MADE for a testy moment on the radio.

EU’s super-Eurocrat Barnier is deluded – this is how to beat him, says FREDERICK FORSYTH



WE ARE told at every hand that dire misfortune will fall upon us if we do not capitulate to the Eurocrats and continue to make every trading concession needed by EU membership. Perhaps these ladies and gentlemen, oxygen-starved in their Brussels penthouses, could be apprised of some basic facts of life.

Why is the Government trusting the word of this ‘genius’, says FREDERICK FORSYTH



AMONG the many foolish vanities to which Mankind subscribes is the belief he can foretell the future. He has been trying since time immemorial. First there were chicken entrails, then animal bones, progressing to the stars, palms, crystal balls, tarot cards and tea leaves.

The age-old argument is not fit for purpose, says ANN WIDDECOMBE
