lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, in the United Kingdom we are still getting to grips with the ruinous financial inheritance left to us by the last Labour government. We have had to increase taxes and cut spending. I voted against the budget today because it proposes an increase in EU expenditure of 6.8 %. For the EU to demand such a large increase, indeed any increase, is grossly insensitive. It is difficult to think of anything more likely to alienate voters in the UK and across the whole of the EU. Why should Europe be getting more money, when almost every other public service is getting less? Why does the EU lecture Greece to cut spending, tell Ireland to raise taxes, force Spain to accept a bail-out and then demand more money for itself? At a time of austerity it is the height of hypocrisy for the EU to ask for more. I fully support David Cameron’s efforts to freeze EU expenditure. He is far more in touch with the citizens than the majority of Members of this spendthrift Parliament."@en1
