97. Where were UKIP?

The story of yesterday’s local elections is of a big swing to federalist Labour. The Labour party that landed this country in the Nice Treaty, the Amsterdam Treaty and the Lisbon Treaty had a good night in many English and Welsh local Councils. I do not think people voted for them because they want more EU, but the fact remains that a leading federalist party has polled well and gained many Councils.I will try once again to explain my thoughts about UKIP, as several here write in in shrill tones. They claimed that UKIP is about to make a break through. They claim it has all the right policies. They argue that the Conservatives are not worthy of support. They say that someone like me has to join UKIP, as UKIP now share some of the views I have argued for over many years.This morning is a good morning to review progress. Most would agree that yesterday was an ideal day for a newer party to make a break through. Voters had plenty of reasons to be disenchanted with the three main parties. Yet break through came there none. There are today no UKIP Mayors, no UKIP controlled Councils, just as I forecast.

99. EU crisis: The Frogs do love us – they’re just hopping mad with Germany - Telegraph

Our entente with the French is still cordiale, but they badly need someone to shout at, writes Boris Johnson.There is a scene in Monty Python and the Holy Grail that captures the current dialogue between Paris and London. One evening King Arthur arrives with his knights at a darkened castle. He tells the figure on the battlements that he has come to recruit noble knights in his quest for the grail. For some reason the guard turns out to have a heavy French accent.

100. EU: Boris Johnson attacks David Cameron and George Osborne for 'morally wrong' policies -...

Boris Johnson has attacked David Cameron and George Osborne for pursuing morally wrong policies on Europe.Boris Johnson has condemned the government for urging eurozone countries to form closer economic links as he demanded a referendum on Britain's relationship with the European Union.The Chancellor and Prime Minister believe it is essential that the 17 eurozone countries move towards closer union of their banking and fiscal policies.However, the Mayor of London said the Government was backing an "intellectually dishonest" and "anti-democratic" approach.Mr Johnson said he wanted Britain to have a looser relationship with the EU, which is "boiled down" to membership of the single market.Britain should pull out of EU-wide social policies, fisheries agreements and other unnecessary bureaucracy, he said."We want to be friends. We want a relationship in which we are not endlessly made to feel bad for not sharing every doctrine of the euro-religion," he said.

101. Nanny state Lib Dems caused their own crisis - by rejecting liberalism | City A.M.

JUST when you think it can’t get any worse for the Liberal Democrats, it does. A derisory vote in the Euro elections, followed by a rather half-hearted and completely botched coup attempt, has left Nick Clegg likely to remain leader but with a fair number of publicly-declared recalcitrants within his diminishing ranks.

103. Open letter to the new DG of the BBC

Dear DG, Congratulations on your appointment. You have a great job and an important task. Many of us are proud of the best of the BBC, and agree that much of its programming produces good quality entertainment and interesting debate. Some of your critics come from both the political “right” and the political “ left”, claiming that the BBC has institutional bias against their parties.

104. PIIGS may yet fly, but not while they're trapped in this rickety eurozone - Telegraph

Two of the eurozone's economic problems are dangerously inter-related. The first is enormous levels of government debt – about 120pc of GDP for Greece and Italy. The second is the loss of competitiveness of the eurozone's southern members, which also, generally speaking, are the ones with high budget deficits and/or ratios of government debt to GDP.

106. The only EU referendum worth holding is one on membership - Telegraph Blogs

Almost no politician – other than Ken Clarke, obviously – admits to being against a referendum on the EU. Yet, oddly, we never seem to hold one.It’s easy enough to see why. Politicians dislike referendums, but like winning elections, and understand that there is massive public support for a vote on the EU. They therefore play it long, assuring us of their commitment in principle to a plebiscite, but warning us, Humphrey-like, that now is not the most propitious moment. Reluctant to allow the possibility of Britain voting to secede, they keep deferring the decision, hoping that something will turn up.Many Euro-enthusiasts now think they have identified that something: the new treaty being demanded by Angela Merkel, intended to intensify the political integration of the…

107. American economic strengths we could copy | John Redwood's Diary

Yesterday I argued that the US was not growing faster than the UK because it was enjoying a larger fiscal stimulus. Most of you agreed, but some were extremely sceptical of the quality and sustainability of US growth. Today I wish to look at the factors that are assisting the US growth rate. I understand that there is still too much unemployment in the USA, and that some people’s living standards have been badly squeezed. However, the official figures drawn up under international public sector accounting conventions do show faster growth in the USA last year and this, than in troubled Europe.Some have rightly observed that the USA now has very cheap energy in the form of low priced gas, thanks to its enthusiastic embrace of shale gas. Mr Obama was dismissive of Sarah Palin’s “Drill baby, drill” remark when asked about energy policy, yet his administration seems to be adopting it as a practical means of cutting energy bills and providing a big stimulus to industry. The Uk needs to pursue cheaper energy policies, as I have often argued here.

108. The sorry history of bail outs

UK governments have a weakness for bail outs which often don’t work. Years ago the bail outs went to distressed nationalised industries. Regularly the great state owned companies found they could not live within the often generous totals of money the Treasury offered them. The managements became adept at working out how to force the hand of successive governments. They demanded more money and threatened unfortunate consequences if it was not forthcoming. It was usually granted. The performance of these big industries fell further and further behind the world’s best. The customers got a bad deal and the taxpayers got a bad deal. Many of the employees lost their jobs.

109. When will the Empress of Europe and her French poodle ever learn? | Mail Online

There can be no doubt now about how brutally the European Union does its business, or how it treats the accepted norms of democracy as a tiresome obstacle to its rule.The humiliation of Greece in the past few days, with its prime minister George Papandreou ordered to scrap his plans for a referendum on Greece’s latest bail-out, reminded me how another fading empire, of recent memory, conducted its affairs.When I heard Europe’s paymaster, Chancellor Merkel of Germany, and her lickspittle, President Sarkozy of France, issue their ultimatum to Mr Papandreou — ‘do as you’re told or we’ll cut off your money!’ — it brought back memories of how the late and unlamented Leonid Brezhnev used to run his satellite states when dictator of the Soviet Union.

110. Leaving the euro is remarkably straightforward – Telegraph Blogs

As it becomes clear that the euro is a recessionary device, its supporters are playing their last card: leaving, they say, would be impractical. No longer do they try to claim that staying in is beneficial: everyone can see that it isn't. Instead, they are giving us the old cure-would-be-worse-than-the-disease shtick. A return to national currencies, they tell us, would be so complicated and expensive as to be unfeasible.

111. Brussels fears European 'industrial massacre' sparked by energy costs - Telegraph

Europe's industry is being ravaged by exorbitant energy costs and an over-valued euro, blighting efforts to reverse years of global manufacturing decline."We face a systemic industrial massacre," said Antonio Tajani, the European industry commissioner.Mr Tajani warned that Europe's quixotic dash for renewables was pushing electricity costs to untenable levels, leaving Europe struggling to compete as America's shale revolution cuts US natural gas prices by 80pc."I am in favour of a green agenda, but we can't be religious about this. We need a new energy policy. We have to stop pretending, because we can't sacrifice Europe's industry for climate goals that are not realistic, and are not being enforced worldwide," he told The Daily Telegraph during the Ambrosetti forum of global policy-makers at Lake Como.

112. Supporters of EU membership seriously need some better arguments – Telegraph Blogs

What is it with Euro-enthusiasts and their supposedly sobering alternatives? First, the European Commission said that, outside the EU, Britain would be like Switzerland. Not Switzerland? Not the wealthiest country in the world? Then the PM said that we might end up like Norway, which the UN reckons is the best place on Earth to live. Now, in the Financial Times, Jonathan Powell warns us that 'it would mean becoming a sort of Greater Cayman Islands, a tax haven and offshore shelter'. Ooh, stop, you're scaring us! Not lower taxes!
