HUGH Cleverly need not worry about England if the union broke up.
At present we pay billions to the other nations in subsidies thanks to the Barnet Formula which is used to work out how much we pay them.
That is why they can afford free education, free cancer drugs, free prescriptions, etc.
So if we broke up we, would save billions to spend on our own people.
Even Lord Barnet has gone on record to say he is embarrased by the way the subsidies have grown out of proportion to the number of people in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
