  6. We're not likely to see a balanced Budget any time soonpublished at 11:16 British Summer Time 14 October 2019

    Reality Check

    Daniel Kawczynski, a Conservative MP, said: "We are now running a balanced budget." Reality Check says: A balanced budget means government spending is paid for by money raised from things like taxes. The UK is not doing that. In March the Office for Budget Responsibility forecast £29.3bn of borrowing this year. Due to accounting changes and spending pledges since then, the Institute for Fiscal Studies estimates it will now be £50.6bn.

    Speaking ahead of the Queen's Speech, Daniel Kawczynski, a Conservative MP, told this morning's Victoria Derbyshire programme that we are now running a balanced budget.

    If you were following last week's Green Budget from the IFS, you'll know that's not true at the moment, and not likely to be true for several years, even assuming a smooth Brexit process.

  18. Free ports are allowed in the EUpublished at 12:21 British Summer Time 2 October 2019

    Reality Check

    Boris Johnson has told his conference that the UK will be able to have free ports after Brexit.

    Free ports are small free-trade zones, sometimes called special economic zones, in which the normal tax and tariff rules of the country in which they are based do not apply.

    There are more than 80 free ports and tax-free zones in the EU.

    It would be easier to take advantage of the potential benefits of free ports outside the EU.

  19. The £1bn a month cost to taxpayerspublished at 12:01 British Summer Time 2 October 2019

    Reality Check

    Boris Johnson has told his party conference that delaying Brexit beyond 31 October would cost £1bn a month.

    The problem with this figure is that if there is a Brexit deal, as Mr Johnson says he wants, it will include payments to the EU, currently expected to be about £33bn.

    That figure includes budget contributions until the end of a transition period.

    So unless there is no deal, contributions to the EU budget will have to be made anyway.

    The figure also ignores money coming back to the UK - you can read more about it here.
