Sooner we are out, the better!’ EU membership ‘costing almost £1bn a WEEK’.
MEMBERSHIP of the EU is costing Britain almost £1billion a week, a new study has revealed.
It puts the true cost of Brussels rule at £980million – almost treble the disputed figure of £350million quoted by Boris Johnson in the referendum campaign and displayed on the side of the Vote Leave battle bus.
The revelation came as British and EU negotiators began the sixth round of Brexit talks in the Belgian capital yesterday.
And it was welcomed by Eurosceptics who said it showed why we need to leave the European Union as quickly as possible.
With Brexit Secretary David Davis and chief EU negotiator Michel Barnier due to meet today, the Government last night underlined its commitment to Brexit with a plan to include an exact time and date when Britain will leave in the EU Withdrawal Bill – 11pm British time on March 29, 2019.
The study on the costs of EU membership, by leading City analyst Bob Lyddon, strongly supports the view of Brexit campaigners that the UK should not pay the EU a big divorce bill of up to £78billion.
