You may not get to the end of this. Watch what happens when someone tells facts to people who don't want to hear.

{(especially as the EU accounts never get signed off).}
I have been told that this is not actually true but is impossible to give an exact figure because each country has it's own financial 'year end' and many of the transactions are 'virtual' payments. So for example EU funding for a project in Wales is represented by a reduction in the payment the UK sends to the EU and in turn the UK coffers give the money to the welsh parliament to implement the project. As these projects are spread over years and cover the whole of the EU28, nailing a single number down is impossible. I am not suggesting that money doesn't go adrift though.

His view was that the Tory party were elected to the current government on a Brexit means Brexit manifesto and to follow through with the result of the referendum and he was not happy that his MP keeps voting against the proposed deal.

Hmm, could you try reminding him that the Tory Government did not win the election, and has only hung on so far by stitching up an agreement with the DUP, which unless he happens to live in NI, he wasn't able to vote for. It's debatable whether their manifesto is still valid.

Unless I have missed it, I haven't noticed any one come onto this thread saying that they voted Leave but think the behaviour by Beaconsfield Tory Club was utterly despicable and wasn't representative of Leavers.

Exactly. Had Cameron had to get into bed again with the Libdems in 2015, the referendum would not have happened, regardless of Tory manifesto promises.
