For some reason lots of people are sharing this David Davis interview today
Can’t think why.
This was @DavidDavisMP on @MarrShow 3 September telling the public a £50bn Brexit divorce bill is "rubbish, nonsense and completely wrong!" pic.twitter.com/wNzY6XeVCf

Davis: “There are all sorts of stories flying around, you had them in the paper this morning.”
Marr: “£50bn.”
Davis: “It’s rubbish .. its nonsense the story is completely wrong.”
Oh yes, that’s it.

We’re paying tens of billions of pounds to leave the world’s largest free trade area while surrendering all of our ability to define its rights & regulations.
All so that we can hopefully start negotiating an inferior arrangement with the world’s largest free trade area.— James O'Brien (@mrjamesob) November 29, 2017

Yes we'll have to pay a €50bn divorce bill, but at least our trading terms will be worse than before.

To summarise negotiations so far:
EU: €50 billion seems fair
UK (who has the stronger hand): €20bn.
EU: No
UK (over the course of 6 fucking months):
Fine we don’t even… we don’t even need a deal! Fuck you, no money we don’t need you! ok 50 billion.— James Felton (@JimMFelton) November 29, 2017
