EU budget

The proposed EU budget hike will wipe out all Britain's spending cuts

Almost every country in Europe is trying to hold expenditure down, and many are making more significant cuts than the United Kingdom.

From Ireland to Greece, from Portugal to Latvia, public sector employees face redundancies and pay cuts.
And where are all the savings going? To public sector employees at EU level.

The Commission is demanding a 4.9 per cent increase in the EU budget – on top of last year’s increase, which saw Britain’s net contribution rise by an almost unbelievable 74 per cent.
