PM says keeping £39bn is not threat but ‘reality’ before meeting with Donald Tusk

Boris Johnson has said the £39bn Brexit divorce bill would not “strictly speaking” be owed to Brussels in full in the event of no deal, insisting: “It’s not a threat. It’s a reality.”

£40bn is peanuts compared with the damage no deal is going to cost us. We know you and your cozy life don't care. But we do. BorisJohnson Conservatives stop trying to kill the UK.

No problem we will seize your ownings in EU. Good deal

Friesdorfer Okay, Scotland will remember that when it comes to our made up deficit. Thanks for this Bojo

Let the trade wars begin , a island against 27 countries .

And not paying would mean that the EU would not owe the UK a deal, any deal, because it means that the UK wants WTO terms, and that they shall get. One wonders how long it would take UK businesses to accrue £39 bn in lost sales and exports. How will that spin out?

Are you going to replace all the trading arrangements? Is there a new free trade deal ready to sign that can replace the biggest free trading block we are leaving? The Democrats won't pass a US-UK trade deal if it puts the GFA at risk. Nancy Pelosi won't!

NO DEAL - NO MONEY - NO MONEY = GIANT HOLE IN EU’s BUDGET - GIANT HOLE IN BUDGET = LOTS OF SQUEAKY HOLES IN THE EU!!!🤣👊🇬🇧

But we would still have to pay what was agreed in order to negotiate free trade deal with EU nodealnoway

ahahahaha

But we'll expect it as a first requirement when you're begging to rejoin in a decade or so.

The good old English saying 'a Lannister always pays is debts. But we ain't no Lannisters.'

Johnson is making things worse with these silly remarks UK will have to pay what it will owe otherwise future exports to Europe will be compromised and also the well being of the 1.3 M UK expatriates living in EU No payment will seriously affect financial credibility of Britain

Just do it then .. No deal then no deal.. Stop messing around ..

So you get divorced and the other party gets nothing? When did that EVER happen? Clueless.

Don’t believe French and Germans and esp. the states in the east of the EU will play this game.

If I went to a restaurant and walked out without paying the bill......it’s unlikely the manager would let me back in for another meal, without paying for the previous one and probably making me pay for the next meal ‘up front’ too....good luck with negotiations post ‘no deal’.

Correct. But it would be paid before the future deal. So. Irrelevant.

Such short sightedness...(sigh)

Imagine Boris giving Donald a blowjob. This is as fine a representation of post Brexit Britain as I can think of.

Boring Johnson .. why u r waiting x Brexit ? Feel free to go on... but u don t.. of course

What if I can arrange a marriage so spectacular that will make the bills seem insignificant to the loving chimes that ooze around the sweet streets, and we all hunk and blow our horns?

Poor claims in part of any politician can change the objective facts. The Brexit process, negative impact outcome, is already present in the lives of the English people and the UK businesses.

The salamander skurries into falmes to be destroyed...

How do you come up with that theory

More bollox he’s just thought up to try and justify the crap he’s got us into

There’s a world of difference between “doesn’t owe” and “refuses to pay”. The difference will become painfully apparent as soon as talks begin on a future trade deal.

You will pay with a lot of tariffs 😀

Who will pay then farage pension?

And they’d all be queuing like bastards to sign up for a deal with arseholes who don’t pay their bills

Jowly Johnson is lying again.

The British put this clown there. The must like the mf..

Severance pay is owed regardless of the future deal as it has to do with the contract you’re breaking

Of ffs. Europe is the UK’s biggest trading partner, or was, he thinks they are going to forget about it when it comes to trade talks? Brexit for brexits sake will fuck the UK

Clueless, Plannless and Rudderless come to mind. This guy is completely out of his depth.

So many citizens are allowed not to pay their debts so why couldn't the government do it as well Sad.

...Seems Japan is footing the divorce bill while UK would benefit from its own negligence...

And the battle begins 😀

Who is keeping the kids then?

A man with a plan. By 'man' read felon and by 'plan' read machinegun

Good let's go WTO I dont think BorisJohnson has the balls to be the greatest PM in modern history though? Just as well the BrexitParty are waiting in the wings, ready to receive my vote when Boris bottles it.

Except we’ve committed to it.

'Here, come do a deal with us' 'Aren't you the country that made all those agreements with the EU and then when it came time to settle your debts you told them you didn't owe them anything just because?' 'Yeah' 'Ahaaa, yeah, we're not doing a deal with you'

...and make it impossible to renew good relations with our closest neighbours 😡

Write it on a bus!

Ha ha

good luck with the trade deals after reneging on that..

This is what's known as a lie.

Brexit: Boris Johnson hits back at Donald Tusk over 'Mr No Deal' claimNeither wants to be remembered for the UK crashing out of the EU, so they are using legacy warnings as leverage, says Beth Rigby. The EU have already negotiated a deal with the UK and it's the DUP red lines that are thwarting that deal. I'm not sure the EU care so much about mollifying the DUP, all for those 10 votes which are keeping the tories in power. But thats what we want a no deal Brexit. Be a hero BorisJohnson majority won, game should be over by now. Stop cowtailing to the EU they will come cap in hand once we are out WTO all they way.. Reactive response from boris. Tit for tat 👍
