He is accusing Cameron and others of saying one thing in a private meeting, and another when addressing their electorates.
Because the meetings were in Private, it is impossible to call either way, whether that is true.
What we do know is that the EU set a timetable to bring the change in 2 years ago and the Government and the Conservative MEPs were part of the process.
We also know that the Givernment has been collecting the new economic data, on which our payment is worked out, for the past 12 months.
For Cameron to pretend the increase bill was a surprise or an ambush by the Eurocrats is a complete falacity.
The Government would have to be completely negligent to not know of the change and its implications to our payment. I think the Government is hopeless, but I do not believe that they do not know what is happening.
Cameron is using it to engage in some EU bashing because he knows it goes down well with his party and with potential UKIP voters who he needs to vote Conservative. But it is well known that Cameron is pro Europe and intends to Campaign for staying in, if there is a referendum.
