George Osborne defends Treasury's gloomy EU exit forecast - BBC News

The damage to the UK economy of an EU exit would cost an average £4,300 per household, says the chancellor - but Leave campaigners call the claim "completely absurd".

I think it would cost money to leave Europe but we would save money in fees that we pay to Europe. The average family would probably be worse off if we left as the Tories would axe numerous employment laws so wages would probably go down and hours worked would probably increase. I don't believe anything that Osborne says he couldn't predict the economic conditions in 6 months time let alone what would happen if we left.

ROFL Britain is willing to provide up to 1, 000 ground troops to an overall, Italy-led European invasion of Libya, one which Italy envisions would be about 6, 000 troops overall, and endorsed by the Tripoli-based UN-backed “unity government.”
The “unity” government is not backed by either of the existing Libyan parliaments, nor does it have any meaningful support within Libya. Still, Western nations have seen the group as a key to presenting their long-planned intervention in Libya as requested by the local government.
