Anything we pay, will be a goodwill payment on our part, and - if we pay anything - it will be far, far short of any figure they have touted so far.
Legal or not, assuming we want to trade with the EU post Brexit, we need to keep them onside. May's rhetoric over the last week has been damaging to the country's future. She's played the wrong card, the EU can survive without us, where as we'll struggle if we don't get a decent deal.
