Sammy Wilson has said that it is time for the UK to leave the European Union.

Mr Wilson said:

“Yesterday a Sun/YouGov poll shows that 48% of people want the UK to leave the EU while only 35% want to remain. As a member of the Better off Out campaign group, I am pleased that yet another poll shows strong public support for withdrawal from a political union that costs us vast amounts of money, subjects us to mad rulings from EU court decisions, and places a massive regulatory burden on industry. And of course the people of the UK never voted to join the EU. Although through a referendum we gave our support to continued membership of the EEC, we have never been asked our opinion on membership of the political union that we are now a part of and subject to.

East Antrim MP Sammy Wilson has welcomed the commitment, made by the Prime Minister yesterday during PMQs, that the UK will not contribute any more money to bailouts for Eurozone states.

Last month during PMQ’s Mr Wilson questioned David Cameron on EU bailouts and sought a commitment that no more taxpayer’s money would be used to bailout countries that were in economic difficulty because of their membership of the Eurozone.

Mr Wilson said:

East Antrim MP Sammy Wilson has visited the Translink depot at Fortwilliam to see the new trains that will be soon be in service on the Larne Line.

Mr Wilson said:

“This morning I got a look at the new trains that will be in service this autumn on the Larne line. I am delighted that these new trains will soon be in service and commuters will no longer have to put up with the old, leaky, out of date trains that should be been removed from service long ago.
