So much is being written about the economic/financial/banking/political Euro mess that it is hard to know where to turn for objective facts. For sure, apart from the FT, it’s not the dailies. Right now it is hard to see what, other than fomenting panic and political unrest, they are doing.

The issues surrounding the UK and the EU are fantastically complicated and require experts to explain. What they do not require are the opinions of non-experts.

On the domestic front, yes, it is a fact that the Coalition government requires internal debate to arrive at a collective decision. But that’s not news – that’s how coalitions work. Stories this week, gleefully inventing a Cameron/Clegg rift from that process, are at best mischievous and at worst deeply damaging.

It really does sometimes feel that you need the Daily Mash to work out what is actually going on.
