Not quite sure I get you there. The tweet was copied as an example of an approach to Brexit discussions and our future relationship with the EU and further afield. Part of the points made was not offering money and only an FTA which the EU would reject.
Both sides agree that we owe the EU ‘something’ as we are leaving during a budget cycle and we have future ongoing commitments (Nigel Farages pension, etc.)
If we followed Rob Holland’s master plan, we would renege on that agreement, whether it is a legal, moral or goodwill. This could potentially create an image problem down the line with future agreements.
