IT has been asserted that our membership of the European Union costs us £25 million a day.

Were we to leave the EU, that kind of money could be better employed in revitalising our public services, the railways and the NHS.

Better this than leaving it in the hands of unelected bureaucrats in Brussels

Incidentally, the EU's own accountants admit that it loses £15 million a day in fraud.
