lpv:spoken text	"When the Multi-Annual Financial Framework (MFF) was first agreed, David Cameron came back from Brussels claiming that he had achieved a cut in the European Union budget. Fast-forward three years, and we see the use of a ‘Flexibility Instrument’ and an Emergency Aid Reserve. Money collected from fines is no longer returned to the Member States, but used to increase the EU budget by the back door. In practice, this has led to an EU budget of over EUR 1 trillion in today’s money over the seven-year term of the MFF. This review adds to the flexibility; unspent money in any area will be used to increase the budget in others. Anything which costs British taxpayers even more money in EU spending is inappropriate in the light of the mandate received from the British people on the Brexit vote. We therefore felt that we had no choice but to vote against."@en1
