The EU costs each Brit 30pence a day.Priti Patel struggles to explain how UK would spend cash not sent to EUPro-Brexit Tory minister says of £160m being contributed to EU, £100m would go on NHS but then flounders over rest
The employment minister, Priti Patel, has struggled to explain how a post-Brexit government would spend money it currently contributes to the EU.
Remain campaigners accused Vote Leave of peddling “fantasy economics” after it claimed it would protect those, such as farmers and scientists, who are currently funded by the EU.
Speaking on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, Patel, who has been prominent in the leave campaign, said: “There would be more than enough money to ensure that those who now get funding from the EU including universities, scientists, farmers, regional funds, would continue to get money.”
Pressed on how Britain would spend the £160m a week it currently contributes to the EU, Patel confirmed that a post-Brexit government would spend £100m a week on the NHS. But she was vague about the remaining £60m, saying only that it would go towards cutting VAT on fuel.
Asked how much would be spent on schools, new roads and tax cuts, Patel said: “We have not said we would spend money on those items. We have said that we would spend British taxpayers’ money on a range of priorities including the NHS and in particularly as well on [cutting] VAT on fuel. So those are the two areas that we have said we will spend that money on.”

In everyday terms, the cost of EU membership is less than 30p per person per day, roughly the cost of a cheap mobile phone contract. The reduction in the government’s tax revenues from even a small reduction in growth rates after leaving would dwarf any saving in our net EU contribution.

The new Brexit mantra; "In the long term". Yep in the long term when there will be nothing left only Little England.Risky business? City divided on impact of BrexitFinancial services could have the most to lose from leaving the EU, but some big names say London could benefit in the long term
London’s financial centre is deeply divided over the prospect of Britain leaving the EU, with Europhiles warning that it could lose its pre-eminence to rival cities in Europe while Brexiters say it could thrive if liberated from suffocating EU rules.
Financial services employ more than 7% of the workforce across Britain and produce about 12% of GDP, and with its inextricable links to European and global finance, the City arguably faces the most turbulence from Brexit.
At face value the threat might look exaggerated. Doesn’t the UK’s strength in international finance run deeper than hassle-free access to the European Union’s single market? Isn’t Frankfurt, the closest European rival, a mere village by comparison?
“The merchant bankers of Venice probably thought much the same,” replies Chris Cummings, chief executive of TheCityUK, an industry lobby group, which estimates that 100,000 jobs could be lost in financial services if the UK leaves the European Union. The UK’s competitive advantage in financial services, its biggest tax earner, is more fragile than many suppose, Cummings argues.

140,000 jobs at risk and do you think Brexiters care?Brexit is a 'huge negative' for Japanese companies in the UKWith Japanese companies employing 140,000 people in the UK, business chiefs from Hitachi, Fujitsu and Nissan are united in warning against leave
Some of Japan’s biggest companies have warned that a victory for the Brexit campaign could have a negative impact on their investments in Britain.
Sadayuki Sakakibara, the chairman of the Japan Business Federation, noted this week more than 1,000 Japanese firms have a presence in Britain.
It echoed a plea in May by the prime minister Shinzo Abe for Britain to remain in the EU, pointing out that those Japanese companies employ around 140,000 people in the UK.
“There would be an immeasurable impact on their businesses” in the event of a victory for the Leave campaign, he said.
His warning came as fears of a Brexit sent stocks in Tokyo to their lowest level in four months on Tuesday, and sparked a surge in the yen against the dollar and other major currencies.
Several Japanese firms have voiced alarm at the prospect of Britain leaving the EU.
Hitachi has said Britain’s membership of the EU had influenced its decision to open a train maintenance depot in west London last year.

All the Brexiters can say is; "In the long term everything will work out".British Medical Journal urges doctors to vote remain in EUEditorial says leave campaign’s arguments on the NHS are wrong and warns Brexit would mean less money for healthcare
A leading health professionals’ journal has urged all doctors to vote remain in the 23 June referendum, arguing that the health case for Britain staying in the EU is overwhelming.
The British Medical Journal said it had taken the unusual step of intervening in a political debate after being unable to find any prominent health organisation that backs Brexit.
Its editors said the leave campaign’s arguments on the NHS were “simply wrong” and warned that EU withdrawal would mean less money for healthcare and a loss of influence on the medicines research agenda.

You just dont get it do you. How will it be a mess? More Brexit wet dreams. It will be a mess for Britain; no markets and splitting up going downhill.Crumple wrote:The main thing to consider from the Dutch angle is do you want to stay in after the UK has leg-footed it? I mean Germany is gonna be right bothered, like a swarm of angry hornets, - it's gonna be a mess to sort and they'll be looking for a new version of Greece to kick, some small country to implicate and blame....and Holland was trading with the UK a lot up until Brexit....not only will that 10 billion euros of trade be lost Germany will be expecting it won't be...and make fiscal demands accordingly. And then it will start the choke chain loan game it played with Greece....that's if The Netherlands stays....future is wide open if it doesn't, UK and Holland....loan ranger and tonto.

The Netherlands were a founder member and are very much involved in the running of the EU not like England which is on the edge. It was a Dutchman that organised the Greek rescue but of course the Little Englanders would not realise that. What do you think will happen when the Scottish bit of England breaks off and returns to the EU along with the North bit of England. The Welsh bit of England wont hang around either and the same is true of the Northern Irish bit of England. After all those bits of England have left what will be left?Crumple wrote:The UK has a massive knowledge of money and how it works.
