We’ve witnessed the long tailbacks of trucks at the Channel ports. We’ve seen the resulting shellfish hold-ups and food shortages and the empty supermarket shelves. We’ve had the sausage wars with Northern Ireland and we’re facing demands from the EU for an increased divorce bill. I don’t recall any of this painted on the side of a big red bus during the referendum campaign! Brussels now says that the UK owes it £40.8 billion, almost £2 billion more than we agreed. The UK claims that the negotiated divorce settlement was between £35bn and £39bn. It looks like our Brexit divorce is going to cost even more than Jeff Bezos’s payment to his ex-wife MacKenzie Bezos, following their explosive split.
