Tom Tugendhat 
I am interested to hear the hon. Gentleman using the figure of £70 billion, and I agree with him. He knows that £30 billion of that results from the rise in the triple lock, so does he agree that the triple lock is simply not affordable?

Earth's life-support systems are in peril — and they're getting worse. According to a report, that was written by more than 60 scientists, seven of the nine identified planetary boundaries have already been breached, including climate change, ocean acidification and biosphere integrity.

The EU would welcome UK rejoining - and might be more magnanimous than many commentators think. The key - and this is absolutely crucial - is having real assurance it’s not going to be a seesaw with a change of government undoing it all over again. That is the really tricky bit.
