We will be paying something after Brexit but not €100bn. That's the EU going in high and will be massively helpful for the UK negotiating team as there is wriggle room here. My guess - we will pay around €40bn. This will be classed as a victory for the UK, saving face in front of Murdoch, Dacre, etc.

Notably, nothing of substance has come from the UK team to date and I look forward to seeing what our official position will be. I would hope something will be in the Conservative manifesto but I suspect not, especially if it's a 'soft' approach. Also of note is that the only thing we have heard on the official government position is through the leak to FAZ which the government s not happy about but have not denied is a true picture apart from 'not recognising'.
