Twenty years ago

A somewhat less happy anniversary today: twenty years ago the Treaty on European Union, otherwise known as the Maastricht Treaty was signed. That, of course, was not the end of the story even of the treaty and its implementation but the date does need to be remembered. Members of the Conservative Party (if there be any left) might like to remind themselves as to which party was in government at the time.

  3. That was when I became involved in the whole eurosceptic mess. Yes, indeed, where have those years gone?

  5. I was a bit loose with language. My apologies, Helen. Francis Maude is not one of the 23 in Cabinet - as Minister for the Cabinet Office he only attends Cabinet meetings, but is not a full member of the Cabinet.

  6. Don't suppose he ever will be, either. No bad thing.
