Wonder if his large salary and huge expenses has anything to do with it.His salary would be the same as Nige's then but there were dark rumours about Nige's expenses some time back which I'm sure aren't true!TonyKinnockio was never an MEP. He was appointed as a Commissioner and later became vice president of the European Commission under Romano Prodi from 1999 - 2004. He'd have been on far more than Nigel, and don't forget his wife was on that gravy train as as well.Like some other supposed Socialists, he's now Baron and so ison the House or Lords gravy train. He also has nice little earners as chairman of the British Council and president of Cardiff University.His son is MP for Aberavon.

Reality Check: Have Leave campaigners changed their tune?Immigration The campaign claim: Immigration levels could be controlled if the UK left the EU. This would relieve pressure on public services. The current claim: Immigration levels can't be radically reduced by leaving the EU. Fears about immigration did not influence the way people voted. Contributions to the EU budgetThe campaign claim: We send £350m a week to Brussels, which could be spent on the NHS instead.The current claim: The claim was a mistake, and we will not be able to spend that much extra on the NHS.
