Christopher Booker at The Telegraph is suggesting that leaving could actually cost more than remaining in the EU (HERE), based on the net contribution at £12.9 Bn and the amount we have now confirmed we will continue to pay for farm subsidies, regional funding and research, plus £2 Bn we pay to 27 EU agencies that he says would cost us more to provide ourselves.
On top of this £11.2 Bn, he claims we owe the EU £5 Bn per year for spending commitments we are already signed up to until 2027. So, overall we will be considerably worse off - at least until 2027 and this is without taking account of any economic hit.
