Staying in the EU

The European Union is reportedly threatening to hold back Britain's fina l€5.6bn rebate payment from Brussels as part of negotiations over the so-called Brexit "divorce" bill.
European Council president Donald Tusk has set a deadline of the start of December for Britain to make further movement on the financial settlement in order to unlock trade talks.
But according to reports, Brussels negotiators have not provided clarity on the final rebate payment for 2018, which is due to come a year in arrears after Britain's scheduled exit from the EU on March 29 2019.

here we go again one law for one and one law for another can’t believe the PM is allegedly going to put a bigger offer on the table when this is their attitude just offer what we have offered which is reputed to be 20 billion which is 20 billion too much as far as I am concerned and take the 5.6 billion off that two can play their game

Bet thed 'Krauts' are behind this... need Mr Jones the butcher here, "they dont like it up em" [Cold Steel].

I agree, we are too damn soft with them. This Government needs to grow a pair, and tell them we need to progress or we walk.

THE EUROPEAN Union has finally admitted that without the UK’s sizeable contributions the bloated Brussels budget will collapse, a secret memo has revealed.
Confidential papers from the European Commission reveal that Brexit will slash the trade bloc’s budget by 16 per cent and could lead to a suspension of aid to some of Europe’s expectant countries.
Spain’s €37billion and Italy’s €43bn in structural funds from the EU could be drastically cut once the UK leaves the EU, while aid money to Greece, Portugal and Eastern European countries could also be at risk.

THERESA May’s £36billion Brexit divorce bill offer is not enough to move negotiations to phase two,EU diplomats have blasted.

Lets see what she does now as Joe says get the government to grow a pair and tell them where to stick it.There are many in the EU who seem to forget that they owe us their freedom and our price that we have paid lies in the war graves of our brave men and women throughout Europe

Five UK cities spent thousands of pounds putting together bids for the accolade, only to be told a year after the application deadline passed that they would not be considered because of Brexit.
However, the European bloc has awarded the title to non–EU countries in the past.


This just goes to show what an **** Junckers is

EUROPE has “considerably more to lose than previously thought” from a no deal Brexit which would cause more than 1.2 million people on the continent to lose their jobs, bombshell new analysis reveals today.
Fresh projections from experts show that the EU27’s economic output would be hit by 1.5 per cent if tariffs are imposed on trade, with Ireland, Belgium and Malta suffering the most proportionally.
Germany would shed the highest number of jobs overall with 290,000 people, most highly skilled workers in the car industry, being put out of work if EU leaders fail to strike an agreement with Britain.

That's why collectively they are trying to screw us for more and more money before they will talk business / trade. Then we also have Southern Ireland stirring the mix,
I would have thought really could lose out without a share of that money.

So press reports state we are going to pay up to 89 billion eu divorces bill I voted to leave and have not changed my mind but that amount of money is just plain stupid.Where is Boris now with his “the eu can go whistle for it “ his silence is deafening.If May is just going to roll over on this then it’s about time we had a new PM with a bit of backbone

BRITISH taxpayers could end up forking out for free inter-rail passes for teenagers and improved Wi-Fi connections across Greece if the Government stumps up a £50 billion Brexit bill.
The eyewatering size of the settlement suggests Britain will be paying for a lot more than existing EU obligations such as pensions, insurance, borrowing and budget commitments.
And there are fears some of the billions being handed over in return for trade talks will be used to finance some of the more fanciful vanity projects dreamed up in Brussels.
