The money's going to the North and Midlands becasue we are giving nothing by comparison to London. And they call Brexiteers thick. We will actually make things better for many more people. More anti-Brexit propaganda.

Higher taxes for very little in return! The injustice is astounding and yet these politicians are act like they are virtuous and noble knowing full well that the debt shackles on the public and thereby people cannot speak out in outrage.

Maybe the PM did it on purpose because she doesn’t want the vote to get through. Who knows what the agenda really is.

And once out of the EU; the poorest areas in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland will become even poorer. Because Westminster will not step up to fill the holes left by the lack of EU funding.

You could also have mentioned that the bribe is just a fraction of the EU-fundings this towns have recieved so far.

I live in Tenerife south, highly dependent on British tourism. Everyone is very worried that Recession already happening… within that market. British imperialism is gonna pay the price. We are moving on to new markets. It'll end up being better for the islands. We are fed up with Brit attitude. Sorry.

The impoverished leave voting areas will lose all their EU funding once we leave the EU such as the former coal field development fund paid for by the EU. May's money wouldn't even make up for this so coupled with the austerity cuts over the last 10 years these areas will still be facing massive real terms cuts.
