Did we? I don't recall the government agreeing to the £100 billion they were asking for - did I miss something?

In the end, we are leaving the EU with a two year (or thereabouts) implementation period, we are leaving the Common Market and we are seeking a customs agreement. We want smooth movement of goods, a trade and services agreement, no more free movement of people and freedom to make our own laws.

That is what Theresa wants to achieve and she will be measured against that. As to whether we are still under ECJ jurisdiction during the implementation period, that is neither here nor there really as it is only temporary, but we will get some kind of protection or say over new laws that would affect us adversely during that time.

The money has already been agreed in principle at about £40bn, which is a fair sum given our obligations and commitments, but remember that nothing is agreed until everything is agreed. After all, Barnier himself said so!
