No more money for the EU "divorce bill". Any payment contingent on a good FTA.

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

The government has offered the EU £20 bn as a "divorce settlement", although it has no legal obligation to do so. It is reportedly planning to offer a further £20 bn, despite getting no concessions from the EU. Brussels has said that the payments cannot be conditional on a satisfactory FTA.

The government was wrong to offer £20 billion as a Brexit “divorce bill”. We should not pay for free trade. No further money should be added to the offer. The existing £20 billion on the table should either be withdrawn, or at least be made explicitly contingent on a free-trade deal. Rather than having Brussels require us “to make sufficient progress on the divorce bill” before trade talks, we should demand that Brussels make sufficient progress on the free trade deal before we pay a penny.
