    Collecting less tax means less money for public services. Yet on the other hand you'll claim Britain should follow the Norway model.

    When we leave the EU we can set corporation tax as low as we want and bring in jobs. Lots of them. I believe our government has already mentioned that to Apple.

    And Ireland could get themselves in a pickle quite quickly, I seem to recall the EU bailing them out very recently.

    A £64,564 “entertainment allowance” for Lord Kinnock;

    A total of five publicly-funded pensions, worth £4.4m, allowing them to retire on £183,000 a year;

    A housing allowance that allowed them both to claim accommodation costs even though, as a married couple, they lived in the same house in the Belgian capital between 1995 and 2004.
