nity to personally congratu­ late the Chancellor on the tax measures announced at the Conservative Party Confer­ ence, namely the increase in the personal tax allowance to £12,500 and the raising of


the 4op band threshold to £50,000, and to praise the statement made by the Prime Minister which raised the prospect of a cut to inherit­ ance tax so it is only paid by the‘very wealthy’. “This tax already has an im­


pact on many families in the Ribble Valley who are by no means rich and I would con­ gratulate any measure to cut it.”

North West UKIP MEP Paul Nuttall has described claims by Jose Manuel Barroso that Britain would have “zero in­ fluence” if it voted to leave the EU as demonstrating the Commission’s bullying atti­ tude. “He is determined to


have a dig at the UK before he stands down as the Euro­ pean Commission president,


as they regard us as just an­ other member state to run rough-shod over,” said Mr Nuttall, who is deputy leader ofUKIP. “Itis untrue that wecould


not negotiate with the US and China ‘on an equal foot­ ing’ on our own and it would mean that we would be free to have our own trade deals with other countries, which


we are unable to while mem­ bers of the EU. “However, he is being


frank when he talks of free movement of people with­ in the EU being an essential principle that could not be changed.. “That is what UKIP has -


been pointing out for a long time and why the solution is for Britain to leave.”
