Fact Check on Theresa May's claims about her deal:

A: Does her deal give us control of our money?
Q: Brexit will make us poorer as a nation, as families and as individuals.

YOU CAN'T CONTROL MONEY YOU DON'T HAVE!

1/.
Q: Do we send 'vast sums' to the EU that we can spend elsewhere once we leave?

A: NO - the average taxpayer spends 11.8p a week on EU membership, which is a tiny slither of total government spending.

2/.
Q: Are we getting back control of our money?

A: NO - we'll lose much more more than we save. You can't control money you don't have! PLUS we haven't even begun to negotiate future trading arrangements so we don't know how much the EU will charge for single market access.

3/.
Q: Are we getting back control of our laws?

A: NO - we'll still have to follow the EU's rules and regulations if we want frictionless trade for our carmakers and financial service firms The snag is we're giving up our voice, our vote and our veto.

4/.
Q: Will immigrating go down as a result of this deal?

A: NO! The end of 'free movement' will be the start of 'managed movement' which introduces a vastly inefficient government bureaucracy designed to centrally plan what firms need. Numbers will stay the same.

5/.
Q: Does this mean Brexit is over and can life go back to normal?

A: ABSOLUTELY NOT! This is just a taste of the years of hard negotiations and damaging compromises we'll need to make. If we end up like Norway, we'll be paying in MORE per head of population than we do now.
