20. Then one day you said you needed to chat and you met up with the EU to discuss your issues

24. You said it wouldn’t reform, you had lost 76 out of 2466 votes, and it forced you to do things you didn’t want to.

26. Largely because that 76 number included votes you didn’t take part in because they were in the area of your opt outs. pic.twitter.com/PtnnIj57uN

30. That the EU budget only ever went up. pic.twitter.com/bR7mTJsfx1

32. That the EU had forced you to replace unanimity with QMV. pic.twitter.com/lawu0AgCPo
