After rebates ,EU money spent in uk etc....most agree the net paid out figure to be member of the EU club is about 8.4 billion. So it would a bill of about 6 years worth of net contributions to near enough carry on as now? Seems this article was right about the bill........but maybe a service charge and tip still to come  |

I'm trying to imagine the response of Tusk and Co if the UK had made such aggressive public statements 3 days before this deadline. Both Tusk and the Irish leader might find this blow up in their faces. Might play well in Ireland and Europe but its hardly conducive in finding a sensible outcome that works for all parties. |

Why would they want it (Brexit) to work for Britain? |

Yes we need/want a deal....but no doubt it will also be better for them. |

The DUP have also made some fairly "aggressive public statements" in the last week. Perhaps this is a warning to May that she has to consider the best outcome for the majority of the Irish island (and the rest of the UK) and not just the DUP's support. |

EU is negotiating with the British Government not the DUP. It might have been smart to communicate that view in private. Threatening to play Russian roulette with negotiations is not very smart. Someone might just pull the trigger. Maybe the likes of Sir James Dyson might get their way. |
