€9 billion out of ~€160 billion. Total spending by the EU on the UK ~€6 billion. Yep - that's going to hurt.

Brexiters like to have it both ways - we both “send £9bn to the EU so there’s a big hole in their finances”, and “all they do is take an admin fee off the top and send our own money back to us”.

Cognitive reasoning is not their strong suit.

We've also spaffed £66bn up the wall (as of April) trying to deliver the vanity project, crashed the pound, etc.

It's 9bn that the EU is going to have to find elsewhere. France and Germany will have it covered, don't worry.

I'm pretty sure the amount of extra taxation UK will suffer to trade with the EU will more than make up for it... Don't worry!

Technically it's the bar bill. But I understand that will be drastically reduced by next month...
