The EU stated its red lines many years ago, so no one should be surprised by the reaction if they request something a la carte. It was called Project Fear at the time but it's now Project Reality.
The extra year's payments will fund themselves in terms of higher GDP, higher tax revenue and lower social security costs than if we get a poor deal through lack of time.
