Boris Johnson allies 'trying to sway UK into paying £45bn bill to break Brexit deadlock'
BORIS Johnson allies believe UK should pay a £45billion divorce bill to break the deadlock over Brexit with the European Union, Whitehall sources claim. “There is talk at senior levels among Whitehall that the divorce payment would begin at £40-45 billion.“And there are some people, not a million miles from Boris Johnson, saying ‘well that’s roughly about the amount that we pay to borrow every year in the UK.“If you could get Brussels to break the log jam in the talks, come out of the straight jacket and get Brussels to talk now about the future trading relationship. "If you had the equivalent of a year’s borrowing to do that, that to them [Whitehall sources] is not a bad deal.“They will be possibly whispering into Boris Johnson’s ear that might be something he should be thinking about.”The divorce bill is to make up for the shortfall in the EU's income after the UK leaves, which is currently around 20 per cent. Six months into the Brexit formalities, the Conservatives are accused of making a mess of negotiations and people are concerned that no progress has been made striking a trade deal - despite the deadline to the UK’s formal exit rapidly approaching.Earlier this month, 40 pro-Leave MPs signed an open letter against a “soft Brexit”.The signatures were gathered by Change Britain, a campaign group that evolved out of Vote Leave and has in the past received backing from Boris Johnson. The letter also rejected the Government paying into the EU budget during any kind of transitional period, calling it “pay to play”.The letter said: “Continued membership of the single market, even as part of a transitional arrangement, would quite simply mean EU membership by another name – and we cannot allow our country to be kept in the EU by stealth.“The government must respect the will of the British people, and that means leaving the single market at the same time as we leave the EU.”“The truth is that the single market is a political project, and requires its members to constantly introduce new EU laws. Therefore, the longer one remains a member the harder it is to leave.”. 00FastNews. Please Subscribe!
