The reason why this country has been so successful in the past and will be in the future is because of our belief in the rule of law.

So therefore can I urge the prime minister to pay the European Union what is legally due to them when we leave the EU - not a penny less but not a penny more either.

If the government has got spare tens of billions of pounds in its coffers, and I’m not sure that it has, then that money should be used to pay for things like social care and for pay rises for public sector workers - not to go into the bottomless pit of the EU, and into Jean-Claude Juncker’s wine cellar, which I’m sure is rapidly diminishing as we speak.

We can’t look public sector workers in the eye if we give tens of billions of pounds to the EU that is not needed to give to them legally and hold back their pay at the same time.
