The European Union can “go whistle” if it wants more money from Britain as part of its Brexit settlement, Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said on Tuesday, adding that the sums already appear to be extortionate.
The EU puts Britain’s exit bill at tens of billions of euros, partly to cover a share of future EU budget commitments made while it was a member.
“Go whistle” is a phrase that means to ask for something with little chance of obtaining it.
Johnson also said the government had not made any plans for failing to reach a deal with the EU.
