Guy Verhofstadt has now said he expects Britain to cough up over £500bn to the European Union (http://www.express.co.uk/latest/european-union) as it extricates itself from Brussels.
“What I know is the outstanding commitments now and before Britain will leave the European Union will in total be around €600billion (£513billion).
Reacting to the inflammatory remarks, Gerard Batten MEP, Ukip's Brexit spokesperson, said:"He should be told to get lost. Forty-four years of EU membership has cost Britain billions in direct contributions, billions in implementing thousands of EU laws, and the loss of our fishing industry untold billions more, to name just few of the staggering costs.
