#BREXIT

The UK Government has promised £1.6 billion for ‘poorer’ British towns as the country prepares to leave the EU. @Dougchapma­nsnp tweeted: “£1bn extra for Northern Ireland to keep the Tories in power. £1bn extra for English regions to buy votes for May’s deal. This is what the United Kingdom has come to... and using your tax contributi­ons to pay for it. This can’t go on.”

@peterwalke­r99 said: “Wow – communitie­s secretary James Brokenshir­e says the government’s £1.6bn towns fund/brexit bribe is over six years. That’s about £260m a year. In government funding terms that’s a pathetical­ly small sum.”

@lisanandy added: “My vote is not for sale and any long overdue investment in towns is no substitute for a permanent trading relationsh­ip with the EU.”
