- British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is expected to tell European Council head Donald Tusk that the UK will only pay 9 billion pounds instead of the 39 billion pound liability agreed by former Prime Minister Theresa May under a no-deal Brexit, Sky News reported early on Sunday. Johnson and Tusk will meet on Sunday at the G7 summit in Biarritz, France. Johnson’s stance may not go down well with other European Union leaders at the summit.

French President Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday said a no-deal Brexit would be of Britain’s own making and not the EU’s. An official in Macron’s office said that a no-deal Brexit would not remove Britain’s obligation to pay its exit bill to the EU.Failure to pay the 39 billion pound Brexit bill would amount to a sovereign debt default, a source close to Macron told Reuters in June

Johnson wanted brexit and if he is not accepting the rules, he will be MrNoDeal

Before you even start - put a sock in it, Boris.

he did meet with Coach Trump last night...

Absolutely stunning how this guy can obliterate any prospect of development for the UK. And Boris is not stupid. He knows what he does to his country. The only explanation I have for that is that Boris is paid by a evil power, which hates the UK.

UK mustn't pay any penny or cent to European Union. Any other action is simply madness

I hate to say the EU needs to turn its back on the UK.

You don’t think this will go well do you

If the EU reignite the Irish border troubles and cause economic and social chaos here, & collapse of Sterling I won’t speak to you again and throw my toys out of the pram, do as I tell you🤡

Europe will accept it. For sure, Europe doesn't have retaliatement power.

Did his idol tell him to say This?

Oh lordy!! Good luck with those future trade deals! LiarJohnson

Why would UK pay anything? BorisJohnson is right!

close the border entirely let the UK suffer .

We will see... w’ll get it somehow...

So, Johnson is telling the world that Britain is not good for its word or obligations. That should work out just fine.

How to turn the UK into a pariah state in one easy step

wish we had this talk from the start. instead we had appeaser May. disaster, gave the EU way too much now we have to try roll them back. made everything so much harder. PM MAY WORST IN HISTORY.

If Europe wants the money, they can come take it by force.

hehehe hdp...

Then BorisJohnson is as pathetic as realDonaldTrump

👍

Trade with England (not 'UK' for long) and they won't pay!

Good luck with that

This is the money of all EU-citizen you‘re talking about here, loudmouthed blackmailer BorisJohnson

UK is going to be in troubles...

Atta boy Boris, you tell them what's going to happen.

Talking to please his fanatical hard line ERG & Ukippers 🤡

I wonder which of the two 'sides' will urgently need trade deals and imports to survive. That kind of thing tends to give the other side more leverage..

Well done, but keep an eye on that bayonet, Boris!

Interesting......

a Country of pirates.

Great, hooray. Made up punishment figure designed to punish the UK for daring to vote to leave this huge unelected gravy-train of corruption and greed

Good. The UK should not pay a penny to the EU.

A sovereign debt default would potentially hit UK govt credit rating making borrowing from anywhere more expensive. But first thing EU will demand in starting any new trade talks is money the UK govt has already agreed it owes for a string of commitments in this eurobudget period

“Hi there, new prospective Trade Partners. Let’s make a deal! By the way, our promises are worthless and we don’t honour our contracts or pay our debts”

No deal is no deal.. and no Money changes hands

The job has really taken a toll on him obviously... Worse than any president except a Kennedy

He won’t stick to it we will pay always do unfortunately keep playing the silly games and get nothing from them sad times

Hahaha

Just like conservatives to skip out on their bills...

Damn Rat, blackmailing the other EU members ! But the looser of poletics of the other countries are going to do nothing...

He must have been surprised to hear that for the thousandth time.

Much ado, indeed. Just leeeeeeave us already, pay your dues.

Is that Frump

I hope the EU will sue Boris and the UK.

Encouraged by Johnson's visit, UK officials now hoping rest of EU agrees to work on Brexit solutionBritain is hoping the rest of the European Union falls in behind France and Germ... 'UK officials.' Are. Fucking. Crazy. I only heard Merkel and Macron telling BoJo that he had 30 days to come up with a solution. No change there. .....except that BoJo is incapable of coming up with any detail that might constitute an agreement Every word out of Boris’ mouth for years has been a lie. Why is anyone putting stock into what he says? The EU isn’t going to change the deal beyond some minor fixes. The U.K. is going to leave the EU without a deal. Nothing has changed.
