Gove's playing his trump card. He's out if the referendum doesn't go his way. He has a lot to lose personally. However, it (cuts + taxes) will also be, by account of the vast majority of - sorry, Gove - experts, necessary.
So this may be a weird moment where George Osborne's self-serving self-interest coincides with reality and, perhaps even, the public good.
I feel dizzy.

As much as I loath Osborne, I can't help thinking that his 'vote brexit and I'll fuck things up even more just to spite you' approach is at least compatible with the current argument. It's suitably juvenile and might actually make a few brexiteers emerge from their Vera Lynn fug and have a little think.
