Ffs Joe, you've been told this soooooooooo many times. That 'divorce bill' you keep prattling on about is the scale of the financial commitments Britain has signed up to as a member of the EU. It's not money that was found down the back of the sofa that we just fancy handing over willy nilly.

https://fullfact.org/europe/eu-divorce-bill/

The bill is made up of:
  • The UK’s contribution to EU annual budgets up to 2020;
  • Payment of outstanding commitments; and
  • Financing liabilities up to the end of 2020.

Please (please, please) stop repeating this, it's making you look incredibly silly.

TBF (and not to sound like a conspiracy theorist) but its remarkable how little has been spent on Brexit - very few additional border personnel (indeed I think we are still down on pre-2010), very few additional HM Customs or HMRC people to deal with the extra work (ditto), no new Fishery Protection vessels nor any extra money for the Royal Navy to "control our own waters" again, the technological solution to the border in NI is still not even a pipe dream and even "normal" Government procurement (like the contract to build and run the recently announced new private prisons) is still being announced in the Official Journal of the EU given though we are all told we are about to leave.

I think David Davis had a new Pukka notebook to doodle in during the negotiations.

On behalf of the forum and sanity :

Would it be possible for Joey to have his own thread similar to Carlos’s ?
