Should no trade deal be forthcoming after Brexit, then the UK could withhold agreed payments. Eurocrats are not going to be happy bunnies about this one!

A proposal is being considered in Whitehall to keep back post-Brexit payments to the EU, if no deal on trade is agreed.

The UK cannot strike a deal with the EU until after it has left the bloc, but it will be required by the EU to sign up to the so-called divorce settlement and commit to payments prior to that deal being reached.

And that of course means paying the bill with no legal guarantee of what the post Brexit deal will look like!

"The U.K. prime minister’s official spokesman on Monday confirmed that while the U.K. accepted it could not formally sign the new trade agreement until after Brexit, it wanted commitments to future trade agreed in practice before Britain’s departure in March 2019." Reports Politico.

The trouble for me is that, it does not matter how much you trust the other side in a contract or how utterly impeccable and honourable both sides are, it really does matter what is legally enforceable - because the people who shake hands on an outline deal today may not be the same people who sign the deal and then further on, not the same people who enforce, or indeed potentially exploit it.

And never forget that we are dealing with a political entity that is desperate for money and also has to ensure that the UK is seen to fail outside of its grubby grasp.

Then factor in the solidly remain nature of a considerable number of our own establishment that will be entrusted with much of this task and I think you’ll see that Brexiteers should be very wary and watchful in the coming months! Or we could be signing over the crown jewels and getting a useless and unenforceable IOU a deal note in return.
