Things are really hotting up in the Brexit negotiations now with yet another Eurocrat demanding that the UK coughs up money until the end of 2023.

The German Commissioner in charge of the EU budget, Gunther Oettinger, has said that the UK must  fully meet its financial commitments, saying they stretch on until the end of 2023, over four years after Brexit day.

He also said that there would be no talk of trade deals until we pay this bill.

The UK Brexit Secretary, David Davis, has said that although the UK may have moral and practical reasons to honour financial commitments, it will not be bullied into paying vast amounts.

But this does go against the recent UK legal analysis that shows there is no legal requirement to pay anything.

Mr Oettinger made it quite clear that, as far as he is concerned, there will be no progress until the three points the EU wants dealt with are addressed. Those being EU citizens rights in the UK post Brexit, the Irish Border question and what seems to be the most pressing, this so-called Brexit bill.

"The European Union expects the British to hold to their commitments. They must fully meet their financial commitments by the end of 2020 and continue to make payments to the EU until 2023.” Said Mr Oettinger.

Now I rather like the retort to this given by the UKIP Brexit spokesman, Gerrard Batten:

"Mr Oettinger is talking through his lederhosen. Britain is not legally obliged to pay the EU anything and certainly not until 2023.

“If the EU won't agree to continued tariff-free trade then we can leave under WTO terms. The EU can then explain to the families of German car manufacturers why their jobs are at risk.

“The EU needs to face up to reality and accept we are leaving and we don't owe them anything."

I expect you all know on which side of the face I sit on this one, but how about you?

Thank you.
