He is the polar opposite of Boris, the political figure that no one wants in their camp. Every time this man opens his mouth the Brexit camp rejoices. I refer of course to Lord Mandelson.
The chances of him keeping quiet were zero and yesterday he did the Leave campaign a real favour by weighing into the debate. According to Lord Mandelson, leaving the EU is “fantasy politics”. And the idea that we could have a decent trade deal if we leave is “absolute rubbish”. Tariffs on key exports such as cars, machine goods, whisky and textiles will soar to “10 per cent, 20 per cent, or sometimes even more”. Talk about Project Fear!
When it comes to politicians spouting absolute rubbish we should consider Lord Mandelson’s record. Specifically, his record of EU-related predictions because this is the supposed sage who told us that if we didn’t join the euro our economy would collapse as business and trade ran off to the eurozone. Let’s just say it didn’t turn out quite like that.
