Commenting on European Council President Donald Tusk’s speech on the EU’s Brexit negotiation guidelines, Richard Tice, Co-Chair of Leave Means Leave said:
“By putting the divorce settlement first, the EU are breaching their legal obligations under Article 50.
“If the EU refuse to comply with law during negotiations, Britain should walk away from the table until Brussels come to their senses.
“When you are a member of a gym and you decide to leave, you serve your notice and pay your fee up until that point. You are not liable to pay for the gym’s running costs when you are no longer a member. The situation with the EU is exactly the same. They knew what the notice period is.
“If the EU has mismanaged its financial affairs, it is not the responsibility of Britain, who will no longer be a part of the bloc, to bail it out thereafter.”
