And with the big hit we will take on GDP on leaving, the economy will contract so who knows what the final position could be. We won't suddenly be £18 billion better off. Especially if we have to cough up for EU trading rights as other 'non EU' nations do. But without any influence of course.


Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't 18bn/year work out at something like 346m a week?
Now I know we don't actually send that amount, but that is the top line figure, and any deductions or returns is entirely out with our control
