The biggest advantage for the UK will be increased trade with the rest of the world. That's the dividend I'm interested in.

You may have to wait forever for that mate. The EU currently has trade deals with about 70 countries - more than any other trading bloc has. When we leave they won't transition over; it's not a simple cut-and-paste jobbie I'm afraid.

Nothing to stop you enjoying that at the moment. But in the future you may need the wine more to help wash down that chlorinated chicken and US-made Cornish pasties.

The Government says there will be no savings in the future. It's not a case of early years, middle years or later years. There will be no savings full stop.
