Boris Johnson: EU can 'go whistle' over Brexit divorce bill

Boris Johnson: EU can 'go whistle' over Brexit divorce bill Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson has told MPs the European Union can "go whistle" for any "extortionate" final payment from the UK on Brexit. And he said that the government had "no plan" for what to do in the event of no deal being agreed with the EU. He said: "The sums I have seen that they propose to demand from this country appear to be extortionate." "Go whistle seems to me to be an entirely appropriate expression," he added. The foreign secretary was responding to a question from backbench MP Philip Hollobone, who urged him to tell the EU they could "go whistle" if they wanted "a penny piece more" than the money the UK had already paid to the EU since 1973.
