The mood among Conservative MPs is less shining-eyed and more sullen. Despite what one MP calls “mild panic” among the whips, George Osborne, the chancellor of the exchequer, escaped with a light roasting when he told Parliament on November 22nd that Britain would be contributing billions of pounds to a rescue package for Ireland. He would not say how many, perhaps because—once bilateral loans are added to International Monetary Fund and EU transfers—the Treasury fears that Britain's final liability could end up a couple of billions higher (or, less likely, lower) than the £7 billion ($11 billion) widely reported.
