“So all the warnings from government, treasury, IMF, IFS, etc etc are just 'figures plucked out of the sky'” They may well be valid figures, icky. The trouble is with the conclusions that are drawn from them. Some or all of those same organisation

Poor attempt at spin, Elipsis as I believe he's a proud Great Briton too:

Another useful idiot for an increasingly lost cause.
It's the same old vacuous pseudo patriotic Brexit nonsense and I trust insufficient voters will be fooled by it.
So all the warnings from government, treasury, IMF, IFS, etc etc are just 'figures plucked out of the sky' to world renowned economist Ian Botham
You put that up against for example the words of John Major in the Daily Mail and you realise the disparity in credibility of each case.

ich,
You mean this John Major, from the Guardian article:
Matthew Parris reminded us over the weekend that history has, so far, been unkind to Sir John Major. The world, Parris wrote, simply decided Major was "hapless".
Margaret Thatcher, on the other hand, will always be seen as the decisive Iron Lady.
These views explain why Conservative eurosceptics see Major as a weak prime minister who sold out British interests to Europe while Thatcher managed to roll back the European superstate.
Major, who believes this version of history is deeply unfair, is too polite to say that their records were rather different. Thatcher signed one of the most integrationist measures (the single European act) while Major resisted the most integrationist measure – the euro.

They may well be valid figures, icky. The trouble is with the conclusions that are drawn from them. Some or all of those same organisations warned of catastrophes should (a) the UK leave the ERM; (b) should the UK fail to join the euro and (c) should the UK operate a programme of austerity instead of borrowing even more money to secure "growth"..
If it’s all the same to you I think I’ll follow Mr Botham’s nose.
