Malcolm Wicks (Croydon North) (Lab)
Is this the first case in recorded history of a proud premiership team relegating itself to a second division, cheered on by the new English Tea party?
The Prime Minister
Again, this is the same argument that we had at the time of the debate about whether Britain should join the euro and it is largely the same people making it. They were in favour of it and felt that not joining the euro meant relegating oneself to the second division. Frankly, I am glad that Britain is out of the euro. We are able to set our own interest rates and make our own decisions for the benefit of our economy here in Britain and we are better off because of it. It is the same arguments from the same people; they were wrong then and they are wrong now.
