UK and EU finally agree on Brexit bill – and it could be as much as £50,000,000,000
The UK has given in to EU demands and has agreed to fully honour the Brexit bill – and it could be as much as £50billion.
The bill has long been a sticking point in divorce talks between Britain and the EU, proving to be one of the largest obstacles to an agreed settlement.

According to senior EU officials who spoke to The Guardian, the UK could be faced with a bill of around £53billion to £58billion.
However, British officials will be keen to get the amount down as much as possible.
‘We have heard the UK wants to come along with the money,’ the official reportedly said. ‘We have understood it covers the liabilities and what we consider the real commitments. But we have to see the fine print.’
Theresa May is expected to formally present the offer next week as part of a package deal, provided an agreement can be reached on Northern Ireland and citizens’ rights.
