> there is the little matter of the ~£60 billion shortfall that the EU has to find from somewhere. What is this figure? https://fullfact.org/europe/our-eu-membership-fee-55-million/ https://fullfact.org/europe/our-eu-membership-fee-55-million... claims a UK net contribution to the EU of UKP 8.6 billion in 2016. You could argue that that would be a yearly shortfall over a number of years, is that what then comes out to 60 billion? Or are you talking about something else? Also there is the matter of the exit bill, which should offset part of that amount.
