We believe that not only is there a brighter future outside the EU, but a more prosperous one too. The UK currently gifts the EU over £9bn every year without getting a penny in return.
Investing this money in our schools, our hospitals and our roads would lead to a better connected and more cohesive society for all.
Brexit would also allow us to treat those who wish to come to the UK from inside and outside the EU equally and grant access on a level playing field. It would restore national control of our borders and ensure that decisions we take to protect the public are not subject to the diktats of EU courts.
