'Turkish migrants to CRIPPLE the NHS' Brexit minister's stark WARNING about EU ascension
A MOVE to let Turkey join the EU will put the NHS under huge strain unless Britain quits the bloc, a minister has warned.
Penny Mordaunt last night said Turkish ascension could cost under-pressure maternity services nearly £400million in 10 years.
The Vote Leave campaigner pointed to high Turkish birth rates – 17.4 per 1,000 people compared to 12.1 in Britain in 2014.
She is also concerned about Albania, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia being allowed to join the trading bloc.

Tory minister Penny Mordaunt 'plain and simple lying' over Turkey joining EU
Andrew Marr suggested this was wrong, given “the British government does have a veto on Turkey joining, so we don’t have to let them join”.
But Ms Mordaunt replied: “No, it doesn’t. We are not going to be able to have a say.”
Marr was forced again to bring up the issue at the end of the interview to clarify Ms Morduant’s point. He said: “I’m going to return to this business, because I’m pretty sure that we do have a veto over stopping Turkey joining if we want to. Are you sure that we don’t?
Then where it moves from Fact to Truthiness: 7'56"
Ms Mordaunt said: “We haven’t… I think that with the current situation, the migrant crisis and other issues in Europe at the moment, we would be unable to stop Turkey joining.
“I think this is a matter for the British people to decide, and the only shot that they will get to express a view on this is in this referendum… I don’t think that the UK will be able to stop Turkey joining.”

Cameron: 'Turkey joining the EU is not remotely on the cards'
Turkey joining the EU is not currently "remotely on the cards", David Cameron has said.
The prime minister also told ITV's Peston on Sunday the EU referendum was more important than a general election.
Mr Cameron attacked Armed Forces Minister and Leave campaigner Penny Mordaunt after she said that it's "very likely" Turkey will join the EU in the next eight years.
Mr Cameron said he "wanted to make it very clear" Britain has a veto on another country joining the EU.

'You can’t trust Cameron': Brexiteers back Army minister Mordaunt over Turkey EU claims
Brexit campaigners, however, rallied around Mordaunt. The official ‘Leave’ campaign tweeted: “You can’t trust David Cameron on Turkey” during Mordaunt’s BBC interview, in which she warned 1 million Turks would settle in the UK as a result of Turkey’s imminent accession to the EU.

Claim about vetoes on EU accession[edit]
During an interview on BBC Television, Mourdant denied that the UK had a veto on Turkey joining the EU – despite Article 49 of the EU constitution requiring a unanimous vote of all 28 members of the General Council to allowing accession of a candidate state – thus creating a power of veto by a dissenting member nation. Prime Minister David Cameron stated her view was "completely wrong"[28] and Guy Verhofstadt called her statement "contemptible".[29]27 September 2016: Telegraph

Boris Johnson says Britain will now help Turkey join EU despite using prospect to help win referendum
During the EU referendum Mr Johnson warned that the accession of Turkey would give millions of migrants the right to live and work in the UK. The claim was one of the most controversial of the referendum campaign and led to accusations by senior Remain campaigners that Mr Johnson had lied.
But yesterday, during his first official visit to Turkey, Mr Johnson said that Britain will "help Turkey in any way" now that it is leaving the EU.

Boris Johnson: ‘May God Help Him’ Warns Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim
When asked if he had any messages for the former London Mayor, Yildirim replied: “May God help him and reform him, and I hope he won’t make any more mistakes and tries to make it up with the Turks.”
While Nato member Turkey has applied to join the bloc, only one of the 35 chapters required to do so has been fulfilled, with former Prime Minister David Cameron predicting the process will not be complete until the year 3,000.

Boris Johnson’s Latest Move Would Make Trump Blush [Use photo] September 30, 2016
Let me explain. After much agonizing and calculation, this spring, Johnson opted to join the “Leave” campaign and become a leading voice in the movement’s quest to depart from the E.U. The decision seemed both motivated by political opportunism—if Leave triumphed, after all, Johnson might succeed David Cameron as prime minister—and unabashedly brazen. One of Johnson’s chief scare tactics involved evoking the threat of Turkey joining the E.U., which would allow its 76 million citizens, the vast majority of whom are Muslim, freedom of movement across the European Union. During the campaign, Johnson’s associates published a map depicting Turkey, Syria, and Iraq in various shades of red as though the latter two states were also set to join the E.U. The “Remain” campaign and Cameron condemned the map for its dishonesty, but it was too late. It was very influential in the charged atmosphere that last summer led Britain to turn away from Europe.
Johnson, who incidentally has Turkish ancestry, ruthlessly leveraged the possibility of Turkey’s membership even though, in these times of migration and terror, the country has slightly less chance of joining the E.U. than Vanuatu.
